Local residents' ticket information

We are keen to welcome our neighbours to participate in this event. This is both to offer the opportunity to experience the wealth of entertainment that will be happening in the locality and also in appreciation for bearing with the impact of such an event in their area.
We are therefore offering a number of reduced price tickets for residents within the villages shown here. Proof of address will be required. Please see below for prices.

Please read if you are booking workshops in advance

Advance booked workshop spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You will need to fill in a 1st and 2nd choice on your form.

We have made provision to alter the selection of workshops/levels if required.
We need to receive workshop booking forms as soon as possible in order to make any changes according to demand.
