Secret Garden Party 2009 tickets on sale

After selling out to capacity this summer, a limited number of tickets for The Secret Garden Party 2009 will go on sale now priced at a credit-crunch friendly £120, plus booking fee. That includes camping, parking, fun, frolics plus all the other hidden extras that usually lurk within a ticket price. There is however a strictly limited amount of tickets at this price, which are sure to be snapped up quickly after the massive success of The Secret Garden Party in 2008.

The event is also nominated in the Virtual Festival Awards for 'best small festival' and 'best moment' for blowing up our lake-marooned pirate ship in a firework spectacular; so get voting now at www.festivalawards.com. The Secret Garden Party, of course, is not defined by the awards it receives, though such things sure grace the Head Gardeners mantle well, they do help persuade those who might not already know about the feast of wonders on offer at SGP to join the merrymaking. Voting closes on October 20th!

This year, acts such as Lykke Li, Metronomy, Late of the Pier, Operator Please, Alphabeat, Florence and the Machine, Esser and Noah and the Whale all played show-stopping performances, offering the zeitgeist of music in 2008. The event was climaxed by the Big Burn, where the floating pirate ship dancefloor was set ablaze moments before Grace Jones delivered her greatly anticipated headline slot. Elsewhere on site a world record attempt at mass-spooning, the Suicide Olympics, a giant mud bath and a course of action camps were there to occupy beyond the adventures of new music. Each year the Secret Garden Party astounds with its creativity, leaving no detail too small untouched, and due to be stepping up yet another notch for 2009, it will unquestionably be a highlight of the summer calendar once again.

The Secret Garden Party is your party. Made for you and by you. The Party is a moment in the year where you can explore your wildest fantasies and realise your wildest dreams. It is radically expressive and radically inclusive. Please be a part of The Garden as it blooms for four days in 2009.
