KEEN festival-goers are being offered an early opportunity to book their place for one of the most-sought after tickets in town.

Recently named 'Best Family Festival', Latitude returns to north Suffolk next year for a spectacular eighth edition - taking place between Thursday, July 18 and Sunday, July 21, 2013.

A festival spokesman said: 'The countdown to Latitude 2013 begins here. It only seems like yesterday that we were all saying goodbye to Henham Park, but pre-sale tickets for the 2013 festival are going on sale from 9am on Monday, December 10 2012.'

Between tomorrow and December 31 festival-goers get the chance to snap tickets up for next year's festival at this year's prices.

The spokesman added: 'The pre-sale is perfect for Latitude lovers who want to secure their place at this incredible festival and begin the countdown to Latitude 2013!'

With its innovative programming and stunning site design creating a spectacular weekend for about 35,000 people in the beautiful surroundings of Henham Park, Latitude was named 'Best Family Festival' at the UK Festival Awards last week.

Revellers can be sure that their ticket will guarantee them access to a huge and diverse selection of music and the arts.
