TICKETS UPDATE 11th April 2006

==============================



TICKETS ARE NOW ONSALE!! bounce You can follow this link to the online Shop to make your purchase. If you buy a ticket with the forthcoming DVD you will get a £3 discount. Please note that the price of £25 will only be valid until the 13th June









Finally, we have a venue for play biggrin

Thanks for being so patient, the location for PLAY is now confirmed as being at Fordhall Farm, Market Drayton, Shropshire. TF9 3PS



The gates will be open from 10am Thursday 22nd June until 6pm Monday 26th June (yes that's FIVE days biggrin ) and will cost the princely sum of £25 in advance and £30 from two weeks prior to the festival. The tickets will be on sale from Sunday 2nd April right up until the event. The ticket price covers all facilities and events once onsite (bar, food & drink etc excluded of course) all workshops, the show(s), the childrens creche area etc etc etc



A beautiful organic farm set in the countryside (although 5 minutes from the town of Market Drayton) that will make for the most wonderful setting for this years (and hopefully many more) PLAY Festival.

(Please visit the Fordhall Farm website, they need to raise £600,000 by July 2006 to stop this beautiful fertile place from becoming yet another industrial development, if you can help their cause please do so hug )



It has great links to the M6 motorway via the A53 and for non car users we will post all info about the local transport situation asap. There isn't a train station that's particularly close but we will be laying on a PLAY Bus to make collections to/from the station as often as possible to help everyone out. There may be a very small charge for this (ie a quid or two) to cover the cost of the driver etc.



I will keep this post updated and of course keep your eyes on the PLAY Website and forum for the most up to date information.



If you could keep your questions in the PLAY Forum we'd much appreciate it as it will help us keep some control and ensure we answer as many as possible. It'll save Malcolms badwidth a little too.....



Hope to see you all there!

and how much does the meat catering cost? how much money should i bring for food for the whole festival?



Food will cost anything from 50p for a cake to £5 for a main meal from the veggie caterers (highly recommended for all meat eaters too!!) . For meat things (twice daily cook up) it will be TBC either £2 or £2.50 each depending on what price everything comes back as. We're getting really nice high quality locally produced organic meat (infact some of it comes from the farm we're at) so well worth a couple quid for a butty or burger believe me smile

Ladies and Gentlemen.
Have been asked to offer a lift on the interweb as Chez is either too busy or can't be bothered!
Chesney, myself and Scott are heading to play early afternoon on Thursday from The Land of Nottingham and have a spare seat in the car. Free for a small fee wink.
If interested pm me.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance (I'm still waiting for my first set of Poi to arrive) but..........

.....the Play festival, is it any good for complete novices?

Cheers

life is like a roadtrip.... The idea is not to arrive at your destination in a pristine showroom model, but rather to slide in sideways in a battered jalopy hanging out the window screaming "wow what a ride..."

yes Hob, you can be a complete novice, coz at Play there are lots of lovely people to show you how to do the basics smile
also there are workshops for beginners.
you'll learn more at Play than you will from a book or website! biggrin come along!
