Wickerman Festival invites romantics to pop the question

With festival proposals and weddings becoming increasingly popular, Wickerman Festival is going the extra mile to offer loved-up festival goers the opportunity to pop the question in a new 'Wicker Love Lounge' - a romantic setting created especially for this year's festival in a luxury, handcrafted yurt.

On February 14th, Wickerman Festival will launch a nationwide campaign to find twelve music loving romantics the opportunity to propose in this memorable and unique way.

The yurt will be decorated to create the ultimate romantic setting, complete with a bespoke wicker kneeling stool and ring to help gentlemen (or women) seal the deal - handmade by the craftsman who creates the iconic ‘Wickerman’ at each year’s festival. Celebratory champagne, locally picked flowers, photographs and the couple’s signature song will add to the experience.

Wickerman Festival Coordinator Helen Chalmers says: ‘If music be the food of love, then this year’s festival is the perfect place to ‘play on’ and we are delighted to launch our first Wicker Love Lounge. Wickerman has a reputation for being one of Scotland’s most relaxed and friendly festivals and it is also becoming known as quite a romantic event. From last year’s Wicker wedding which was covered on BBC3’s Don’t Tell the Bride to the spectacular flyby aeroplane proposal, more and more festival goers are professing their love on-site. We have already had a 2013 wedding request and are hopeful that our new Love Lounge will provide a truly original proposal setting.’

Wickerman Festival 2013 takes place at Dundrennan on 26th-27th July. This year's headliners are Primal Scream.
