Tier 2 Full Festival Tickets are now on sale. These are limited in number and when they sell out, we'll automatically switch to Tier 3 tickets at slightly higher prices. Early Bird and Tier 1 tickets sold out in record time this year so there is no guarantee how long these tickets will last.
​​​​
Single day tickets ARE NOW ON SALE too. We've launched a limited batch of day tickets to meet demand. Subject to capacity we may launch a further batch nearer to the festival.
​​
We have a new ticket option this year, for those who want to avoid the queues and can arrive on Wednesday. The Wednesday Add-On ticket will get you into the campsite for an extra night of socialising (entry between 4pm and 8pm). There will be some catering and entertainment at the Boathouse bar area (subject to numbers), but the rest of the arena will be closed until Thursday afternoon. There are a limited number of these tickets available, and are only for campers with a Weekend-Extra ticket (plus your camping/pitch tickets). We're hoping to start the Southwell shuttle bus on Thursday morning so Wednesday campers can add a trip into this beautiful market town without missing any of the festival.
​​
This year we had to open the campsite early on Thursday to avoid queues back onto the public roads. We won't be doing that in 2026 because early Wednesday arrivers will take the pressure off the Thursday queue for the campsite.
Tier 2 prices: £174pp for adults Thu-Sun, £154pp for Fri-Sun. Camping (£23pp) and pitch tickets (£11 or £26) are extra. The Wednesday add on is just £15pp. Adult day tickets £40 to £60pp. All subject subject to a 5% booking fee. Big discounts for 12-17yo, and under 12s are free.
​​
