Like an opium den of self indulgence, people come to the Henna Harem to experiment, to mark, to symbolise and celebrate. They wait, they stay, they laugh and then leave with a beautiful stain, a strong memory and a few new friends.
After years earning its endearing side name of “splendour in the mud”, this years epic event looks set for clear skies.
This year we’ll be hanging out in the badass back corner of the festival near the bonfire, the drive-in and the MixUp Stage.








The markets are now located in Byron’s town centre, focused around the railway area. Henna Harem is found under a big old melaleuca tree next to the railway line – pretty much in line with the Northern Hotel but behind Jonson St – accessed by the graffiti walkway. Look for the little caravan!
