20 Years of Latitude

Next summer, we’ll gather to celebrate the twentieth edition of Latitude Festival. Twenty years of festival line ups that celebrate the breadth of the arts.

Thousands of artists have moved us with theatre, with literature, with songs, with laughter, with dance. Together, we’ve experienced moments that simply couldn’t have happened anywhere else.

To celebrate, we’d like to invite you to join us in a conversation about the most important artists, the most important books, the most important theatre shows and more.

Part mission statement, part cultural archive, part collective memory. A cultural and social survey and conversation with you, our audience, to establish in your eyes and our eyes what the most important aspects of modern life and culture have been.

Young voices have always created change. They challenge, they inspire, they demand better, creating the pressure that moves the world forward.

For two decades, Latitude has championed bold and fearless voices. As we mark 20 years of music, arts, and ideas at Henham Park, our community voted to honour the young voices who have shaped our generation.

Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai’s courage in standing up for girls' education, her unwavering advocacy in the face of unimaginable adversity, and her powerful call for change has moved millions worldwide to action.

In Malala’s new memoir, Finding My Way, she has reminded us that real role models aren't perfect, they're human. Her story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of finding her own path beyond the headlines, resonates deeply with a generation navigating their own journeys.

Our audience has chosen Malala Yousafzai as The Most Important Young Voice of the last 20 years, not just for her activism, but for demonstrating the courage it takes to be unapologetically yourself.
