We are all go!!
Tickets for Wellyfest 2025 Now “Alive Alive Oh!!”

Tickets for the 2025 60th Anniversary edition of the Wellington Folk Festival are now on sale at Humanitix. Early bird prices run until midnight 28 September.

We have had a bit of drama with our usual infrastructure provider Hiremaster going into liquidation. Thanks to a sustained bout of heroics from Simon Bishop we have found alternative suppliers without breaking the budget or having to further increase prices. Buy the man a drink (no, make that two!).

One consequence that Festival regulars will note is that the marquees for the Main Stage and Balladeer Stage will be a little smaller than in recent years. Regard it at as a chance to make new friends.

In addition, we have made a few changes to the ticket structure and prices for 2025. The first is a small increase in most prices. The costs of putting on a Festival (or anything else on this planet) never go down and we were conscious that last year’s Festival ran at a significant loss, albeit mainly as a result of the weather significantly impacting gate sales.

The second change is that we have decided to no longer charge for children (aged 12 or less). We have done this in an effort to make the Festival more attractive as a long-weekend family outing for people with young children.
