Where and how do I buy tickets?
Tickets for the 2023 event are on sale now via our tickets page. They’re also available to purchase via SEE.
My tickets haven’t arrived yet. What do I do?
If you booked direct through our website using Eventbrite your ticket(s) will be emailed to the email address you gave upon purchase. Please check your Spam folder in the first instance, and then if you still can’t find the email contact Eventbrite direct who will be happy to help.

Can I buy a ticket on the day?
Providing tickets have not sold out in advance they will be available to buy online throughout the festival, and on the door. Cash only please.
Will there be seating at the Civic Hall and if so will these be allocated seats?
Aside from the all seated Rumer concert, all the other events are primarily standing affairs. Only a small amount of seating will be available, allocated on a first come first served basis. Please get in touch in an advance should you have any special requirements.
Can I bring the kids?
Absolutely, though under 14’s should be accompanied by an adult at all times.
What is disability access like across the venues?
All the concerts are disabled friendly. The Civic Hall has automatic doors and raised viewing areas to the side and rear of the Hall, with access via a ramp or chairlift.
Where can I park?
There are three main car parks in Cottingham – on Market Green (directly in front of The Civic Hall) on King Street (adjacent to the Co-operative Supermarket) and on King Street (behind Heron Foods). No charges are made for using these car parks, and there are no restrictions after 6pm. On-street parking is available throughout the village, but some areas have time restrictions. All cars are left at owners risk.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
The Civic Hall has a fully stocked bar serving a mixture of beers, lager, cider, spirits, ales and soft drinks. Due to licensing restrictions you are not permitted to bring your own drinks into the venue. Please respect the venues and their neighbours by drinking responsibility.
I am no longer able to attend. Can I have a refund?
All tickets are non-refundable.
I manage/represent/play in/really like [insert band name]. What is the application process to play the festival?
The 2023 event is now fully programmed. We’ll start looking at acts for 2024 later in the year. Please contact us with as much information as possible, including website links, music and videos etc. We do try to check out every act brought to our attention, though due to the very large volume of applicants it isn’t always possible to reply to every single message we receive.
