Full Tickets include all events in the festival programme* – that means all evening and afternoon concerts, ceilidhs, dances and workshops – and entry to the more intimate venues such as the Sailing Club and Crampton Tower. You can pick and choose throughout the Festival week and as long as you arrive in good time to your chosen events, you will experience everything that Folk Week has to offer – top headline acts, dancing, taking part and having an all-round good time.  Some 60th Anniversary special events may incur a surcharge TBC.

How will you receive your tickets? Festival tickets will be posted out to you in late June/July, unless collection is stipulated at time of booking, in which case they will be ready for you to collect from our Festival Box office in Queens Road Baptist Church from Monday 4 August 2025.

If you wish to extend your stay you can purchase further tickets on line, campers can pop into the campsite office, non campers see our volunteers at the Festival Box office in Queens Road Baptist church.

If your staying for more than the weekend but less than a week  We suggest you book a weekend ticket then add on the individual day tickets you require, these can be with or without camping.
