(once upon a time...) Glastonbury festival

It is an honor for us at Slumbarave to be involved with Glastonbury Festival , especially the Shangri - la area. These legendary fields represent what is still autonomous with this great British gathering of "the naughty people"...Shangri la has risen from the ashes of Lost Vagueness, which was the bastard child of what was once the travelers fields. Most people involved with the travelers fields are no longer part of Shangri la, but there are still a few......it has taken much courage in their convictions and a passion to remain free of 'mainstream' influences such as corporate sponsorship and big branding... This choice of direction and non-conformist attitude reveals the true spirit of Glastonbury... May it live on in us all. x

The private view evening of our showcase exhibition 'sleepeezzzee' was a great success,
with 10 gales gallery packed until midnight with some really lovely slumba enthusiasts,
random passer-bye-ers and good-timeout-ers (thanks to Timeouts' First Thursdays
listing us in their top 5 favorites!) Sponsorship from Kopparberg pear cider helped
lubricate the guests and music from D'junsei, Nacho and Needle n groove loosened them up!

The hotel facade was a 2 week long build, with help from the talented Kasia and Johan, and the Shangri-la build crew.
Lavish, with both art deco and futuristic styling, we created a contemporary take within the 'dystopian' thematic for the Shangri-la area.
Juxtaposing the grandiose feeling of the classic movie Metropolis, and the quirky retro décor that is Slumbarave, within a 5 x 12metre art deco inspired, rendered frontage, complete with central column, windows, balcony and grand entrance, we welcome festival goers to the only footwear free venue at Glastonbury.

The styling of the interior was a mixture of old fashioned bedroom furniture, from the 1970’s and previous decades. The interior of the tent was draped with silver velvet revealing exotic bird graffiti walls. (frontage Glastonbury 2008 by Xenz).
The grand entrance reveals a raised hotel reception, with large oval reception desk accessible from both sides.
The reception area was for patrons of the hotel to check in and remove their shoes. After checking in, those who choose to hire costume are guided to the boudoir transformation tentonbury.

Thank you to all our wonderful Glastonbury 2009 crew, especially to the ladies of the nighties who were brave enough to watch over the thousands of wellie boots during the course of the weekend, not the most pleasant job, but someone's got to do it.
