Admission and check in
For booked events, please make sure you bring all your tickets with you for admission. You can print them off or show them on your mobile device.
If you have booked for Finale talks and shows, we recommend arriving 15-30 minutes before the start of your first session, to allow time to check in and make your way through the venue.
Refreshments
At the Festival Finale, at the Deanery Academy: The Cornerstone Café will be open for hot and cold drinks, light lunches and snacks. Hall & Woodhouse pub sits directly opposite the school, with great food and drink in a gorgeous canal-side atmosphere.
Waitrose is a five minute walk across the canal bridge.
We also have a picnic area for visitors bringing their own food and drink. Please keep this area clean and free from litter to be considerate of other visitors and to help our amazing volunteers and host venue.
