If you are not able to use e-tickets, we can post your tickets for £2.50. Tickets booked within 7 days of the event will automatically be send as e-tickets.

We offer concessionary tickets to young people and people in financial need. As such, concessions are available to the following people (proof of status will be required):

– Students in full-time education and people under 25.
– People in receipt of disability or health condition benefits, Universal Credit, Universal Pension Credit or Jobseekers Allowance from the UK government.

Concessionary prices are stated after the full price for each event, e.g. £12/9

Refunds & Returned Tickets
Tickets will not be refunded unless a performance is cancelled.

We can accept returned tickets for sold out events. Any returned tickets will be made available for resale online and/or on the door at venues. Refunds for all returned tickets will be processed after the festival has ended and are subject to a 10% handling fee.

We offer a limited number of free bursary places on each of our writing workshops for people who might not otherwise be able to afford them. Applying for a bursary place is simple, just fill in the online application form here or call us on 01943 816714.
