Secret Garden Party 2009

[fingers_mark]

Any other efesters going to this one?

Never been before. Is there an arena or is it a Glasto style place? and does anyone have to postcode of the place, moved house and lost the guide thing, not the tickets thankfully!

And am i right in saying its midday opening tomorrow?

I checked our Phoenix and fell almost immediately in love. I also recognised one of their songs (Run Run Run, it's in the video section of their myspace page) cos it got lots of radio airplay a while back.

Hopefully I'll be arrived and set up in time to go see them (having to work on Friday).

The wife and I (married at glasto this year) are 1st time gardeners and have manged to blag thursday off work. After a hectic Glasto and manic crapatude really looking to let our hair down. Been talking about it for last four years and have heard nothing but good stuff. Just as excited as I am about Glasto and big chill. After five summers doing four or five fests a summer I finally got my wonderful wife into cider (brothers we love you) Any good cider at SGP?

One love

I LOVE phoenix. Seen them quite a few times over the last few years and they are always amazing. They are on at 9pm on friday night.

I've not been before. Anyone know if the fancy dress thing is fairly relaxed? I've got a few random costumes cobbled together from my wardrobe - gold serpent and mother of the bride (there's a white wedding party on the sunday), and also got a military thing. Apart from the snake, they aren't very eden or babylon. Does that matter?

After all the madness of Glastonbury we set upon this little festival which happens to be half an hour from where we live. Having never been before, we didnt know what to expect, and it was a lovely suprise when we arrived, drove straight in and parked up, something which ive failed to do at any other festival.

We unpacked out stuff and headed for the entrance, had to wait a little as there were sniffer dogs and bag checks on the gate, after this however you were free to do as you wish, police presence on site was minimal (from what i saw)

Pitching the tent and not having to jump over another just to get out of yours was wonderful.

The whole place had a chilled atmosphere, no overcrowding, just nice.

It was a magical place, nearly every tree onsite was lit up different colours, there was a beautiful lake (which every festival should have) there was hammockology (a great place to chill) there was the tower on the lake which was burned saturday night, complete with fireworks, fire jugglers, fire spinners, and about 50 lanterns being let off at once,

I cant begin to describe every little detail that made this such a great festy. IT WAS BRILLIANT

The say the capacity won't increase - i hope not - must have been 10,000+ there - any more and it may lose some magic....
