A four day party like no other! – The Secret Garden Party 2013!
Want to enter a whole new world of singing, dancing, smiling and music? FAULT Favourite festival Secret Garden Party is the place to be!
This year, the Cambridgeshire festival is set to be held on the 25th- 28th of July 2013, near Huntingdon, Cambs. After much anticipation (particularly from the FAULT team – those costumes don’t make themselves!), the Arts and Expression theme for 2013 has been announced as “Supersition”.
Gardeners have been asked to explore their affinity to the supernatural, the inexplicable and the irrational, to indulge the tussle between the left brain’s sober analysis and the right’s need to conjure its own reality.
“Ours is a rational world, where science and mechanics control much of how we live and think. Yet many of us feel an instinctive resistance to this world of reason, a primeval attraction to beliefs and actions without logic. Are you afraid of the number 13? Would you bury a broken mirror in the moonlight? Do these behaviors guide our fates, or are they superstitious nonsense?”
The number one rule of SGP is that the Party must facilitate participation. To ensure that this principle is upheld, the Secret Garden Party – uniquely amongst UK festivals – gives over half of it’s programming money back to the gardeners in the form of arts and expression grants, with festival-goers pitching in and enacting Party ideas – with some quite spectacular results!
Tier 3 tickets are currently available – here – and selling quickly. Tickets in tiers 4 & 5 are also available for those who are happier to pay more for their ticket, therefore freeing up the cheaper tickets for those on lower incomes.
Once again they are also operating a deposit scheme that allows you to pay for half of your ticket now and the other half any time before 30th April 2013. (Please remember that if you do not pay the balance by 30th April 2013 you will not get a refund).
There will not be any extra tickets available for 2013 so it has been recommended that gardeners book early to avoid disappointment.
