'Best medium sized festival' of 2008, The Secret Garden Party cordially demands your presence aboard the wildest ocean liner ever to set sail. The HMS Ulysses (aka The Troxy) will tonight play host to a wild party with a nautical twist.
Crewed by your indomitable Head Gardeners, first class passengers will be collected from an impromptu port at The Counting House EC3V 3PD, foot passengers will make their own way to the ship - which sails at 10:30pm.
Expect high-end luxury, the lure and lore of 1920s elitism, the frenzied antics of the high seas all in glamorous, ridiculous finery: sea creatures, naval officers, futuristic pirates, silly fillies and dolly toffs.
Musically, electro swingers The Correspondents join cabaret jazz ensemble Ta Mere, big band scenesters The Destroyers and French electronic rock exemplars Rinôçérôse.
The Dance Off Crew will be aboard, plus the Bearded Kittens, magicians, conjurers, explorer tales, high stakes poker and a grand finale to immortalise the voyage.
For 20% off Prangsta costumes mention this event.
