SECRET GARDEN PARTY 2012 SELLS OUT IN RECORD TIME
All tickets for the Secret Garden Party 2012 have now officially sold out of all tickets. It is the fastest-selling year ever for the event, which celebrates its 10th Birthday this summer. The festival, which takes place in Cambridgeshire from July 19-22, has secured the likes of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Casiokids, Baxter Dury, Alabama Shakes, Tim Minchin, Lamb, Scroobius Pip and more for this year’s party.
Head Gardener, Fred Fellowes comments: “We are thrilled to sell out in April for our 10th Birthday. It’s the fastest-selling ever, which is incredible given the current financial climate. A big hug and thanks to all our Gardeners; here’s to the best SGP ever. For those who are disappointed and can no longer get tickets we have taken the creative side of SGP to Glade Festival and Wilderness this year so be sure to check those out.”
From humble beginnings in 2004, the Secret Garden Party’s appeal has grown organically over the years; its ethos of fun, friendliness and participation connecting to a new generation of festival goers. It has remained proudly independent and non-corporate in its outlook – a festival of the arts where everyone is the artist.
During that time over 34,000 performers, musicians, stall-holders and 13,500 volunteers have helped contribute to its success. It has supported local charities and community projects in the Abbots and Kings Ripton area – such as the local village school, Jubilee’s celebrations, Huntingdon Art College and St Ives Secondary School.
