TICKETS UPDATE 11th April 2006
==============================
TICKETS ARE NOW ONSALE!!
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
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 ) 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
)
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!

Yeah still wearing mine - all the writing's still on and no rips or anything. But I'm going to a wedding in a coupla weeks and will have to take it off for that
I'm going to the Greenbelt festival later in the summer and would have loved to get a little wristband collection going... I might see if I can squish my hand enough to get my Play band off and back on again after the wedding

thin peice of paper? I got a fat bit of plastic... I've had them on before and while I can still do fishtails, I hate the thin side of plastic digging into my wrist with a staff on top of it feeling. And I hate the bit of plastic around my wrist like a spraypainted sheep feeling. And just the feeling of stuff around my wrist.

I had to take mine off with the heat recently my wrist was swelling up under it and making it tight and uncomfortable.
Next year Dunc, get funky fabric ones (if they don't cost stupid amounts).
