All weekend and Saturday tickets for Bella have sold out in advance. Consequently there will be no gate sales at the event. With people coming from as far away as Canada and Europe to the event, and from all over the UK. Belladrum has cemented its reputation as one of the leading all ages festivals of music and performing arts. This is the first time in six years that the family festival has sold out its 12,000 capacity since its first year when numbers were limited to 2500 at a one-day event. Also sold out are the 115 tipis available in the boutique camping area. The message from the festival now is NOT to turn up if you don’t have a ticket.

In the frame, last year’s lucky winners of the Fancy Dress Free Tickets prize. This year’s theme is NATUTICAL – seaside, sailing and saucy postcards – but if you feel like following some other yen to dress up as Buzz Lightyear or Mrs Flintstone, please don’t let us stand in your way. Our mystery judge will be circulating and will pick the lucky of winner of tickets to Bella 2010. But more to the point, it’s a way of letting it all hang out and making Bella the colourful spectacle it is.
Did you know that Lloyd Grossman – he of Masterchef and pasta sauces – was also a musician? He’s playing at Bella in The New Forbidden and also being interviewed at 13:05 in the Co-operative Verb Garden. If you want to take time out from the music, there’s so much to do at Bella. Check out the entertainment in the Venus Flytrap Palais which ranges from the sublime to the downright naughty! If you’re a night owl – check out the late night programme on the web site under ‘Entertainment’.
