Online ticket purchase closes 23 October

Despite multiple setbacks (hire company liquidation and this week’s stormy weather), Wellyfest 2025 kicks off as scheduled tomorrow, Friday 24 October. There’s a great line-up of guests on the main stage and in the Balladeer tent, along with a vibrant Village Green, a popping programme for younger folk, buzzing Blackboard concerts, wonderful workshops, a dazzling dance programme, and plenty of other opportunities to join in.

You can still purchase tickets online from Humanitix until later tonight (23 October), which will save some time at the desk. Tickets are available for the whole weekend or for single days or evenings.

Registrations for children aged 12 or under are free and the youth programme (for children and youth aged 5 – 18) is included in the Festival registration.

You will be able to buy tickets at the gate from 3pm on Friday 24 October. (Bunks usually sell out in advance of the Festival.)

Opening of Early Bird Ticket Sales Postponed

Just a quick heads up from the Committee – we had intended to open early bird ticket sales for the Festival earlier this week.  However, in the light of recent events, as set out below, this has been postponed. 

Unfortunately, Hiremaster, the Festival’s primary infrastructure provider for many years, has been placed in liquidation. Arrangements were in place for Hiremaster to again provide most of the infrastructure for this year’s Festival.  As a result of the liquidation of the company we are now having to wait a week or so to learn whether those arrangements will be honoured.  

In the meantime we are investigating possible alternative suppliers, should these be needed, what the costs might be, and what the implications might be for our budget and for ticket prices.  

Thank you for your patience.
