Competition: WIN tickets to Festival Number 6

Polly Checkland Harding

Enter our competition to win a pair of weekend tickets to Festival Number 6.

It’s really very simple. We’re giving away a pair of tickets to the multi-sensory extravaganza that is Festival Number 6. The chance to see the festival’s carefully curated and eclectic line-up – which, this year, includes Bastille, Hot Chip, The Wave Pictures, David Bowie Reimagined (by Joe Duddell and Camerata) and more – usually costs up to 205 smackaroonies. Instead, fill in the form below and you’ll be in with a chance to enjoy long days of music, comedy and spectacle having only spent two minutes of your time.

From 1-4 September Portmeirion, the eccentric Welsh village styled after an Italian town and one-time setting for ‘60s TV series The Prisoner, will come alive with talks at the Piazza, cinema screenings, secret parties, interactive theatre and a food area featuring Michelin starred-chefs. Every year the festival brings stunning parades, costumes and sets to the village’s winding streets, and has the added bonus of being coastal, hence the envy-making snaps of people chilling out on the sand. To join them, all you need to do is enter your details into the form below before 10am on Thursday 14 July, when the competition closes. Good luck!

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED.
