The Pleasure Garden kicks off next week and it is destined to be one of the most immersive festivals that Australia has seen in years. This year’s installment will play host to breathtaking art installations, artisan market stores, and decadent food – all set to a backdrop of the most inventive international and homegrown musicians.

We didn’t think the event could be any more spectacular than it already is, but The Pleasure Garden announced that will be giving away free cocktails and a lifetime ticket to the festival. So if you’re interested in experiencing this delicious sensory overload to its full extent, read on to find out how.

To win yourself one of these delectable prizes you simply need to immerse yourself completely into the festival spirit, by dressing up. The theme for this year’s installment is ‘Welcome to Wonderland’. We’re not talking the eat me, drink me, caterpillar smoking a hookah wonderland. We’re talking the dictionary definition – “a land or place full of wonderful things”.

So, you’ve sorted out yourself out a fanciful costume – what next?

Free Cocktails for the Fancy!

The first 50 people that make it through The Pleasure Garden gates in full costume will get a free cocktail. There’s very little more to this rule. Just get there early and be dressed to impress. What better way to start the day than covered in glitter, sipping on a piña colada at 11am?

There will be an honorary best-dressed competition going down at the festival. So if you think you have what it takes, enter you and your get up for a chance to win a lifetime ticket to the festival. You’ll just need to head to the information tent when you arrive to enter the competition.
