The Garden of Unearthly Delights

The Garden of Unearthly Delights For over 20 years, The Garden has transformed Adelaide into a buzzing hub of creativity each summer.
(1023)

Starting with a single Spiegeltent in 2000, it has grown to become Australia's most dynamic outdoor festival. Each year, The Garden of Unearthly Delights, a partnership between Strut & Fret and Buxton Walker, create a unique festival playground including multiple performance venues, bars, carnival rides, an array of world foods, market stalls, and the most unexpected sideshow surprises.

BIG SHOW. BIG WINS. HUGE ASS MINDSET. 🏆🔥

Frankie McNair has taken the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe by storm, winning not one, but TWO awards for her superb show Huge Ass Mindset:

🏆 2026 Uprise Award
🏆 The Mental Health Foundation Edinburgh Fringe Award

Fearless, hilarious and completely unforgettable, Frankie continues to prove she’s an absolute force on stage.

We loved having her perform in The Garden in 2026, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her smashing it on the world stage.

Show Frankie some massive love! ❤️

EDINBURGH, YOU BLOODY BEAUTY! 🏆🔥

It was a massive 2026 Edinburgh Fringe for our Garden artists, with favourites Sammy J, Geraldine Hickey and Stephen K Amos delivering hugely successful seasons.

And then there’s CONK, who absolutely smashed it, taking home not one, but TWO awards for Man Sings the Same Song Over and Over Again for an Hour:

🏆 Best Comedy at The List Awards
🏆 The Garry Starr Very Very Silly Award

From The Garden to Edinburgh, we couldn’t be prouder. Huge congratulations to CONK on this brilliantly bold and thoroughly deserved achievement! 👏🎉

BIG NEWS! ✨ We’re thrilled to announce a brand new partnership between Flying Fruit Fly Circus and The Garden of Unearthly Delights! 🤸‍♂️🔥

This partnership creates a pathway for circus and physical theatre artists - from creative development in FFFC and CCM’s Under Construction residency program, all the way to presentation at Adelaide Fringe! 🌟🎪 Up to 2 works a year will be selected from Under Construction and programmed for a season in The Garden, along with marketing support and more.

We are stoked to be working with The Garden to help artists get on stage at the largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere ❤️

Today we’re celebrating World Fringe Day. 🎭✨

For almost 80 years, Fringe Festivals have been where big ideas, bold performers and unforgettable moments come to life. They’re where artists take a chance, audiences discover something new, and communities come together through creativity.

The numbers are pretty incredible:
• 30+ million audience members
• 170,000+ performers
• 60,000+ free and ticketed events
• 8+ million tickets sold
• 6,000+ venues across the globe

But Fringe has never just been about the numbers. It’s about the people, the stories, the laughter, the standing ovations, and the moments that stay with you long after the curtain falls.

Together, we’re part of something much bigger.

Happy World Fringe Day. 🌏💜

Those warm summer nights just hit different. 🌿✨

The laughter, the shows, the food, the drinks, the music, and that feeling of wandering through The Garden of unearthly delights as the sun went down. It’s one of those Adelaide traditions you don’t realise you’ve missed until you look back. 🤍🙏🏼
