CHARTER FLIGHTS For those of you in the UK & living north of Watford Gap it is not as convenient getting down to London Stansted for the direct Ryanair flight to Zadar. So, in conjunction with The Flight Centre we are looking at organising our own flights from Manchester airport direct into Zadar , to make things easier for those in the north of England (remember Ryanair fly direct from Edinburgh to Zadar for those of you in Scotland).

The Manchester charter flight will be from Weds to Weds return and the package will include the following:
Return Flights Manchester - Zadar
One bag check in
Inflight snack and drink
Garden Festival weekend pass
2 x Barbarella's club tickets
Return airport transfers from Zadar airport to Petrcane (village where festival is held)

The price will be appx 325 sterling inc all taxes (payable in 3 monthly installments)
There will only be 166 seats available for each weeks flight – so if this is something you are interested in please email info@thegardenzadar.com this week with how many seats your group requires & whether you want to come for the 1st or 2nd weekend. If there is enough positive feedback we will book the charter flights and post more information.

FUNNY MONEY
Hmmmm....not so funny was the general consensus!! There were genuine reasons for using this system, but we were totally aware of how slow it could be at certain times during the festival.
This year the bar has upgraded its' technology and the cashiers will have the facilities to accept cash & credit cards, or you can purchase your own Garden Festival drinks card in advance online (and top it up whenever you have a bit of spare cash that you want to put by for your trip or at the festival). Your drinks card will be ready for collection when you pick up your festival pass at the box office and you will be able to use it at any bars on the festival site, with the exception of the Argonaughty boat.

So, in short, you can use The Garden Festival drinks card, credit cards or the local currency (kuna) at this years festival to buy your mojito's, cold beer, chilled bottle of bubbly or whatever wets your whistle!!!

ARGONAUGHTY BOAT VOYAGES & BOARDING
We are hopefully extending the length of the pontoon so that The Argonaughty can dock on the festival side of the bay.The shade of the pine trees will make waiting to board The Argonaughty more comfortable & when you disembark you will be straight back into the party, having saved your dancing feet (from a walk around the bay) so not missing a beat.
