early bird tickets on sale for The Secret Garden Party

get them quick

Thursday 16th October 2008


A limited number of early bird tickets have gone on sale for The Secret Garden Party. A crazy festival party where everyone joins in and brimming with ideas and creativity. The not-for-profit festival is held in a secret location in East Anglia without sponsorship and offers an eclectic musical mix. The dates for 2009 have been confirmed as Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th July.

Early bird tickets are on sale, priced at £128 for an adult for the four days, teen tickets (14-17) are priced at £116, and under 14s are free, but need to have tickets. The price includes all booking and postage fees, parking, and camping. This year there is a charge of £42.40 for live-in vehicles - click here to buy.

Set in a 10 acre landscaped garden, bordering a river and lake, The Secret Garden is a garden-party-gone-crazy. As well as music there's loads of activities for kids and adults alike, and it is more of a party experience offering mud wrestling, skinny dipping, bubble wrap popping, sock wrestling, twilight maypole dancing, silent disco dancing, raft-building, body painting, karaoke singing, counselling from the bad advice bears and crafts.

The festival is spread out over two sides of a lake with a large main stage area, 'The Great Stage' and then smaller tent venues dotted around, like 'Where the Wild Things Are', 'The Living Room', and 'Small World' which all have artistic décor. The happenings on the main stage side are generally more dancey and louder, and the other side has a more acoustic and chilled vibe. There's also 'The Pagoda' stage, a dance floor jutting out in to the lake, and a galleon in the middle of the lake which people are ferried out to on Friday and Saturday until Saturday evening when this year a galleon was ceremoniously burnt. No acts have been announced yet for 2009.

There's a kids' area too, and plenty of food stalls with some excellent organic fare on offer. Customers are asked not to bring food or alcohol onto the site.
