After the huge success of 2011, we are excited here at Sunrise Head Quarter to announce that Sunrise Celebration will be back in 2012 with a new date: 21st to 24th June, taking advantage of another Glastonbury fallow year and coming back to the Summer Solstice week end where it all began 7 years ago!
SUNRISE CELEBRATION 2012
Another World is Possible
June 21st-24th 2012
Gilcombe Farm, Nr. Bruton, Somerset
www.sunrisecelebration.com
100% Renewably Powered! 100% Family-Friendly! 100% Fun and Fabulous!
Sunrise is back for its 7th year, brighter, better and bigger than ever before, and returns to its original Summer Solstice dates!
It is one of the UKs premier underground festivals of music, creativity and sustainability, and one of the few genuinely 'green' events with a concentration on arts, music and culture.
Sunrise features a buzzing blend of cutting edge and contemporary culture, with a musical journey ranging through dub, world, ska, electronica, psy-trance, breaks, reggae, folk, Balkan beats and much much more...even old-time swing and a sprinkling of jazz!
4 days of magical sensory delight in the beautiful surrounds of Somerset's rolling green hills await you. SUNRISE is a celebration of human creativity and potential, featuring all manner of inspiring talks & workshops to facilitate the growth of strong, sustainable co-supportive communities.
Early Ticket buyers had the opportunity to attend an extra night at the festival for the Summer Solstice night, Wednesday June 20th 2012. (All Solstice tickets are now sold out)
We've spent the winter months rejigging the model once more, bringing in some amazing new content and working hard to make sure that 2012 is the best Sunrise yet!
