Music is definitely an important part of any music festival, however, The Great Escape should by no means be thought of as only a music festival, as the organisers provide their festival goers with a few extra bits and pieces to stir and inspire. Cabaret, comedy, spoken word, circus fun, yoga, markets, cult cinema, trivia, and disco bingo are just some of the creative kicks you can get at this festival, at Sydney’s Newington Armory.
