The Secret Garden Party's Christmas Voyage

• 23rd Oct 2009

The charm and warmth of a classic British summer may have come to an end, but at the Secret Garden, the party continues with news of the Secret Garden Party's Christmas Voyage and the announcement of early-bird tickets for 2010 going on sale.

The Secret Garden Party cordially invites you aboard the wildest ocean liner ever to set sail. The HMS Ulysses (aka The Troxy) will play host to an all night party in a beautifully dressed art-deco setting, featuring all the usual irreverent fun and frolicking of the main event, with a nautical twist.

Crewed by the Head Gardeners and a host of Gideon Reeling’s Assistants to guide you, explore the ballrooms, dining terraces, cocktail bars, secret steerage parties and hidden passage-ways of the retro-future oceangoing colossus. Passengers who choose to travel First Class will be collected from an impromptu port established at The Counting House, a delightful city Port, where your trip begins. There are only limited First Class tickets – available on a first come first served basis. Other passengers will make their own way to the ship.

Tickets are on sale from now via link for £45 (+booking fee).There are limited Early Bird tickets at £36 (+booking fee), which also comes with free travel for those early bookings from The Counting House Bank / Liverpool Street Station.

First Class carriages will leave from 8:30pm, ferrying the guests in their hundreds to the ship's red carpets and smoke-belching turrets. The gang planks will open at 9pm, setting sail at 10.30pm so all aboard by then.

The HMS Ulysses will make only one voyage and she intends to enthral her guests for every minute they remain aboard; featuring radical performances, big band swing, Rats Shooting Craps, Badger Bar fighting, Dance Off Crew, Bearded Kitten’s Pick Pocket Wenches, magicians and conjurers, Turkish baths, life-drawing, science experiments, explorer tales, high-stakes poker and a grand finale to immortalise the voyage.

As always the Head Gardeners have set a fancy dress theme to inspire the best from their guests. Ladies and gentlemen are required to embody Silly Fillies and Dilly Toffs, Futuristic Pirates, Ancient Sea Creatures from the Deep and Naval Officers from the Bridge. To aid your experience, Prangsta are offering 20% discount for anybody going to the event.
