Tickets for all events will be available to the general public from 1st August. However, if you are a "Friend of the Festival" you will receive a priority booking service, send back your booking form from the Souvenir Programme (when it becomes available in July) and clearly mark your form "FRIEND" and your tickets will be reserved prior to this date. For our popular events which are often a sell-out, booking is highly recommended. In order to avoid disappointment, telephone 01597 823441 and pre-order your tickets which can be collected from the Box Office on your arrival into town.
In addition to the programmed events highlighted here the unique atmosphere of the festival is created through magnificent, free concerts, street entertainment and displays together with costume parades, the craft marquee, exhibitions, the Victorian fairground, horse and carriages and daily competitions.
