This year Global Gathering introduced a ticket scheme which allowed festival goers to pay for tickets by putting down a £50 deposit - the balance must be paid before midnight on Friday 15th May 2009.

Tickets are on sale at the price of £115 for the whole event, or £59.50 for Saturday only. To buy tickets or pay a deposit, click here.

NOTE: this is an over-18s only event.

The event will run from 5pm-2am on the Friday and 2pm-6am on the Saturday.

The campsite has hot showers and an outdoor cinema. As well as the music there's usually The Urban Village with hip-hop DJs, skate ramps, BMX riders, break dancers and graffiti artists, and extreme rides in the fairground.

Global Gathering has now been granted a permanent license, meaning that the festival will be a guaranteed fixture on the music events calendar. The license, which received no public objections, has been granted to allow the event breathing space to grow even bigger year on year.
