More Information It is with deep sadness the Ostara team announces the cancellation of the 2010 outdoor event. Due to circumstances beyond our control Ostara management feels it can not proceed with a fully permitted, legal and safe event organised within the vision and ideals we hold true. Due to your amazing support Ostara outgrew it's traditional home, Sokil, last year. With the full support and assistance of the Pyrenees Council a new site was secured however there was a last minute objection by a local property owner. Despite considerable effort on behalf of organisers, Council and legal teams the objector remains unmoved and Council is therefore unable to issue the permit. For Ostara to continue from here legal proceedings would have to occur. While our legal advice states we would be successful within those proceedings Ostara management can not justify the associated costs. These added expenses would eliminate any profit and therefore any donations to local charities. The crew now feel those funds are best left preserved to enable the true meaning of Ostara to emerge for 2011~ a celebration of rebirth. It takes more than a farmer to keep a Goddess down and it is our sincere hope your appreciated support continues in 2011 to share Ostara's spectacular reincarnation. Due to this considerable development Ostara management now aims to give as much notice as possible to all artists, contractors, punters and pre-purchase ticket holders of this years' cancellation. All refunds will be made available as soon as possible at full price paid, however, any booking fees will not be refunded as this outside of Ostara management's control. Please do not return to your point of purchase for your refund. Instead contact Ostara management at: ostarafestival@hotmail.com with the serial number on your ticket, full name and bank account details to receive full reimbursement. You will still need to return your tickets via mail, and receive your refund via bank transfer. Greentix ticket holders will receive an automatic reversal of funds, using their original method of purchase (VISA, PayPal, etc). Those who have purchased via greentix online please contact them if your refund hasn't appeared in your account within 30days. We hope you accept our sincerest apologies for any and all inconvenience and promise to deal with all of your enquiries as swiftly as possible. Ostara would like to thank the crew for the incredible amount of time, effort and hard work (at their personal expense) already volunteered to the event. Much appreciation is extended toward all artists, performers, volunteers and others willing to donate time and art in pursuit of the Ostara vision. Our souls weep for our lady Ostara tonight and understand many of you share our disappointment. We have faith you will understand our desire to allow her the dignity of bowing out gracefully for 2010. ~ from the entire Ostara family “I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream.”        - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
