Competition: Win tickets to Festival No. 6 and a year’s supply of Kraken Rum

Stevie Mackenzie-Smith

Festival No. 6 is just around the corner, and we’re giving away a pair of tickets, plus a year’s supply of Kraken Rum.

It’s just over a week until the return of Festival No. 6 to Portmeirion in North Wales from 5-7 September. One of the last festivals of the season, Festival No. 6 is one of our favourites, which may have something to do with the opportunity to combine it with a drive through North Wales. Beck, Jon Hopkins, Laurent Garnier and Pet Shop Boys are the headliners taking to the stage and, as ever, there’s a stellar arts and culture programme. This year sees talks with former Young British Artist Gavin Turk, Jonathan Meades and activities celebrating the centenary of the birth of Dylan Thomas – alongside stand-up comedy, Tim Burgess’s “Twin Peaks” coffee shop, and (no, your eyes don’t deceive you) Bez’s Question Time.

Where “street food” seems to be the obligatory component of many festivals these days, long banquet tables and a sprinkling of AA rosettes is more the order of the day here. It would almost be vulgar if it wasn’t, well… so damn tempting. Dinner at Clough’s is a waterside feast hosted by Bryn Williams and Aiden Byrne on respective nights. Elsewhere there’s the Welsh Fresh Produce Market and the Kraken Rum Bar, which will be laying on a barbecue of rum-marinated goodness to make your hearts – and nostrils – sing, alongside DJ sets from Norman Jay MBE and Don Letts. To be in with the chance of winning a pair of tickets to Festival No. 6, along with a year’s supply of Kraken Rum, all you have to do is enter your details below. Entrants must be over 18 and the winner will be drawn on Monday 1 September.
