Gents prepare your suit, ladies gather your finest dress… but keep it second-hand of course.

The popular ‘second hand formal’ themed winter party PigSty In July is gearing up for its next chapter, returning to its beloved Hunter Valley based bushland venue ‘Dashville’ on Saturday 2nd July 2016.

After 3 consecutive sold out events, with rave reviews from both well-dressed punters and the media, the quaint yet sinister sister event to the famed Gum Ball Music Festival is anticipating a big year in 2016 with the perfect winter warmer recipe.

A one day over 18 event full of light hearted luxurious indulgence, PigSty in July features some of the best local boutique beers and wines, scrumptious foods and a fine selection of quality live bands, all situated in a secluded outdoor venue with lovely big fires and a relaxed vibe.

The highly anticipated 2016 line up will be announced at The Gum Ball on 22nd April.

Event organiser Magpie Johnston is excited at the prospects of this year’s event.

“This year we’ll be changing a few things up. Putting in slightly bigger stages, more comedy, more food, more beer, more wine, more bands, and I guess somehow…more fun.

Tickets are $48 and will go on sale to the general public from 26th April via the Dashville website or pigstyinjuly.com.au

Combined event and return bus packages are available via www.rovercoaches.com.au

This event is fully licensed- over 18 only. Runs from midday til 10pm. No BYO food/beverages.
