We exist to inspire, excite and enrich. To create a community of fun-loving, music-loving, earth-loving individuals. Together, we aim to create an endless energy of love, smiles and good times; curating with an open heart, an experimental ear and an ambitious vision. We are driven by evolving Lost Paradise each and every year; to blow minds, touch souls, and set hearts on fire for the year ahead.

Everyone is welcome to become a part of our Lost Paradise community. Your participation is as vital as the artists and performers, teachers and team behind the scenes. We aim to open minds to new experiences and new ideas. We applaud acts of kindness, and strive to be the setting for forming new friendships and interactions.
We would like to acknowledge the Darkinjung people whose lands we live and work on, where we make our living. We acknowledge Darkinjung connection to their lands, waters and community. We pay our respects to the culture. We acknowledge their history. We would like to pay our respects to their elders past and present.
We’re passionate about nature and sustainability. Lost Paradise is inspired and woven through its landscape – Glenworth Valley. Home to horses, flora and fauna plus a gorgeous waterway that roams through the site to connect with the mighty Hawkesbury River, this is our Paradise. And now it’s yours.
Have fun. Take care of yourself, your friends, neighbours and anyone you feel may need a friend at that given moment. Being a good Paridisian is about being all of this, while also respecting (and protecting) the land upon which we gather. This means doing your utmost to leave no trace, no litter, and ensuring you take everything you bring home with you. Lost Paradise is not the place to dispose of items no longer required – we respectfully ask that you do so correctly and off-site. Please, let’s keep paradise clean and green together.
Lost Paradise features a broad and unique programme, and we celebrate each offering with equal significance. Everything you find in our hidden wonderland is provided with love and passion. It’s all for you.
On behalf of the entire Lost Paradise team and the family and management of Glenworth Valley, we wish you a very happy new year and thank you for your cooperation in making 2023 our biggest, best and greenest Lost Paradise yet.
Simon Beckingham,
Founder, Lost Paradise
