A four day party like no other....

Dearest Gardeners,

The festival season is slowly winding up and the SGP office is a hub of excited Gardeners getting ready to cross the Atlantic for the mighty Burning Man Festival. If you have a ticket and are playa bound, you can find the Head Gardeners camped at 3 o'clock and Athens rocking 'HMS Excess (your passage is our right)' with some special SGP fun times. See you in the desert next week, all covered in dust…

But in the meantime, read on for news of tickets and deposit schemes, a couple of BRILLIANT VIDEOS from 2011 from our very talented team. 2011 really was a vintage year…

Art at SGPCheck out this lovely little video made by the very talented Tali Clarke. We are very proud of the waves SGP is making in the art world, and felt it was time to formalize our intentions. Soon we're going to be launching our art community at www.secretarts.co.uk, which will be a place for all those interested in the art to meet and greet. Keep your eyes peeled for this very soon, but in the meantime enjoy this collection of SGP's on site art 2011.

SGP 2012 Ticket News

This year we are releasing tickets in tiers. The first and second tiers tiers have already sold out, but we've got three more tiers to go.Each tier will have a set amount of tickets allocated to in, and will increase in price as each tier sells out. Tier three goes on sale tomorrow
The reason we're adopting this approach with ticket sales is two-fold. 

The first is so we limit the increase in the festival's capacity in order to meet the rising costs of the infrastructure. We think we're getting close to the ideal amount of Gardeners now but we still need more fields to camp and play in. However, more fields mean more fences, more water points, more toilets… the list goes on. By selling the tickets in tiers we can cover this rising cost while keeping the number of Gardeners down.

The second reason is we want to make SGP as accessible as possible for all the gardeners who understand the festival's ethos but are on a lower income.
WE KINDLY ASK THOSE GARDENERS WHO CAN AFFORD IT TO PURCHACE TICKETS AT A HIGHER TIER, LEAVING THE LOWER TIER TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR GARDENERS ON A LOWER INCOME.
Tier one – sold out

Tier two - sold out

Tier three - £165.00 (deposit scheme available)

Tier four - £185.00 (deposit scheme available)

Tier five - £195.00 (deposit scheme available)

Tier Three Tickets will be going on sale tomorrow.

Deposit scheme for 2012 Tickets

Many of you have been asking about the deposit scheme. We understand that some Gardeners find this really useful, so we're happy to say that our Third Tier Ticket release will include the option to pay in installments.

The Third Tier Tickets will be released tomorrow. So keep your eyes on the website for the tickets to become available.
