Breaking News
We always try really hard to keep your prices down but this year we have been hit by a small price rise from the hotel, ongoing increases in other prices.
Also due to the ongoing success of the festival we will need to apply VAT to our tickets & packages.
Whilst we will do our best to absorb as much of this as we can there will be a small increase in prices to you.
2026 Tickets are now available from the ticket page
All of our 2024 promo video clips, starring the crew that brings you the festival, can be viewed on our Gallery page
