TICKETS

Grandstand, Lawn and Enclosure/Enclosure Plus tickets admit patrons to all of the Festival's performances and venues.

Additionally, Grandstand tickets guarantee the ticket holder to a reserved seat in the Grandstand for the main concert on the Floating Stage at 8.45pm.

Lawn tickets guarantee the holder an unreserved deckchair in the uncovered Lawn seating area, between the Grandstand and the Floating Stage.

Enclosure/Enclosure Plus tickets entitle the holder access to all events in the enclosure, but not to a seat in the Grandstand nor in the Lawn seating area for the 8.45pm concert on the Floating Stage.

A Quiet Zone is provided at each side of the lawn seating area at the start of the 8.45pm concert. Enclosure ticket holders are invited to listen quietly to the concert in this area. Patrons who cause a disruption will be asked to leave the area.

The Saturday & Sunday Evening have a different format; there are no Lawn seats and the Enclosure Plus ticket holders have access to this area in front of the stage to dance.

Entrance badges are issued with tickets and must be visibly worn at all times.

The Lawn Season Ticket is for Wednesday to Friday evenings only.

The Enclosure Plus Season Ticket is for Saturday & Sunday evenings only.

CAR PARK

Passes are £10 when ordered with tickets and £15 if ordered separately or paid for on the day. Car parking is free for the Free Saturday Art Event.
