Some people have been asking what the Sanctuary Festival is all about... so we're going to show you! This is a festival in the truest sense of the word - a proper full-on weekend of outdoor partying with an open-air stage, multi big top arenas, entertainment, bars, hot food stalls, merchandise stands and security patrolled camping with showers and toilets, all set in one of the UK's most beautiful rural spots - the Matterley Bowl in Winchester.

You can either come from just the Saturday evening until 6am, or get a whole Weekend ticket and come from the Friday afternoon right the way through until Sunday afternoon. There are Standard and VIP tickets available for the Saturday and the whole Weekend, and you can buy them from www.slamminvinyl.com and 020 8363 5566.

The festival itself is set in a natural bowl, which means almost no sound leaks away from the site so we're able to get the volume turned up LOUD! You can see from the photo below how deep the dip is, so get ready for some serious dancing!

The Outdoor Stage will be back again... it was wicked to have our music as the main attraction played out in the open air! This year it will feature on the Friday and the Saturday, and hopefully, because we've moved the whole thing to August, the rain won't cut us short!

Inside each arena, you'll find some pretty serious production! With Biiig speaker stacks, and some really heavy light, laser and L.E.D equipment at our disposal, be prepared to be astounded by the audio visual onslaught that awaits!

And most of all, above the gorgeous venue, more than the light and sound, greater than all the artists... is you. You are the people that make it what it is... so make sure you come and join us at the Sanctuary Festival to help us make it simply the best event of the year!

We'll have line up details to announce soon - expect simply the cream of the crop of the scene's leading artists and producers - but for the time being, all you have to remember is the name: The Sanctuary Festival, the date: 8th August 2008 - 08.08.08, and the venue: The Matterley Bowl, Winchester.

Day tickets start at just £30 and Weekend tickets at just £45 - call 020 8363 5566 to book. Ticket prices increase at the end of March, and tickets are selling quicker than this time last year, so make sure you don't miss out!

We're also running coaches to the event - call 0871 2887 270 for pick up points, prices and availability. If you are driving, we have security patrolled car parking so you can leave your car knowing that it will be safe.
