Secret Garden Party are once again offering an instalment scheme, which is now on sale with even more options than last year. 

To help you spread the cost of the tickets, there are three types of instalment plans now available for adult tickets. You can pay one part now and the remainder anytime up until Friday 1st May 2015 (midnight). Or you can pay in three stages, where final payments are due 6th April or 6th May, depending on which payment option you prefer.

Please make a note of the payment dates. They will automatically let you know if a payment hasn’t gone through and you will have 7 days to correct it. Past this one-week warning, you will NOT be entitled to a refund and there will no longer be a festival ticket secured for you. You can check all the details under the ticket link here.

They have also announced that to improve and motivate the litter clear-up each and every ticket for the party this year will have £10 automatically added (excluding under 12’s). Everyone will be given a Litter Bond in addition to the normal festival wristband, plus TWO bin bags. The £10 will be redeemed when gardeners hand in their full bin bags, which can be given to members of the litter crew in the campsite hubs.

The Secret Garden Party is fully committed to environmental alternatives and this year worked with Big Green Coach, a coach company who not only sponsor and protect land in the Peru rainforest but also plant a tree for each full coach they transport.

In keeping with Secret Garden Party’s environmental policies whilst supplying power to over 24,000 festival-goers, Firefly was commissioned to help provide clean and green power for the festival.

Firefly was ultimately able to save a total of 3,826 hours of diesel generator run time where hybrid systems were deployed – this works out at around 50% of total run time. The utilisation of hybrid technology enabled a reduction in diesel usage saving 10,285 litres of fuel. This resulted in a huge financial saving for the Secret Garden Party as well as a carbon reduction of an impressive 24 tonnes.
