TICKETS/ FAQs

As many of you are already aware, the first venue for our festival unfortunately had our original permission withdrawn from UU after a strongly worded letter of complaint from our neighbour, who is a solicitor. We therefore do understand why UU took the easier option to withdraw our permission to use the barn for any rare events.

We have been able to move venue to another location (Albion Farm Top Car Park!), but that unfortunately has meant a lot more set up costs which are reflected in the ticket price. 

It also means that this ground won’t allow for Saddleworth Morris Men to dance, but they will still be in attendance, and there will be a lot less tractors, but they will be there and still making a fantastic display!!
We have priced for the main event on Saturday, and our Sunday Session will be included in those costs to make a weekend event. We are going to make sure this event is still an absolute knock out event for everyone who attends! Two full days of music, food, drink, laughter, games, farm animals (including new born lambs) and more!
We will also ensure that all Food & Drink is reasonably priced and cost no more than the prices in our Turkey Shed, which we’ve been told are great!

All of our main acts are exceptional, but we need to add a special mention to CHAV BRASS who will still be recovering from Whit Friday, and many of which are travelling over from Norway so making an exception to perform at this event.
As well as proceeds being donated to Saddleworth Whit Friday committees, they wanted to say a big thank you for all the support to our brass banding fans and supporters at Whit Friday, and to give those who sometimes struggle to catch them, a chance to still see them.
Many more charities and organisations will be benefitting, and all will be listed leading up to our event.

HOW MUCH ARE TICKETS AND WHAT DO THEY INCLUDE? 
Tickets are priced accordingly for our main event on Saturday, but we are delighted to include our chilled out Sunday Session for no additional cost, therefore these tickets cover the whole weekend. Nearer the time we will be selling Sunday tickets at £10 each for anyone who wishes to attend our Sunday Session, but not our main event on Saturday. 

ARE THERE ANY DISCOUNTS?
Online tickets will be £50 each on release.
SINGLE TICKETS; 20% OFF if purchased directly from Albion Farm Shop/ The Turkey Shed.
PARTIES OF 10+; 25% OFF
PARTIES OF 20+; 30% OFF

WHERE CAN WE BUY THEM?
For the first month we will only be selling tickets from Albion Farm Shop and The Turkey Shed. This is to give local residents the opportunity to buy tickets first as a thank you to their ongoing support.

HOW MUCH ARE CHILDREN'S TICKETS?
UNDER 12s are FREE. On purchasing your tickets you must let us know if any Under 12s will be accompanying you. They can not be added at a later date.

ARE DOGS ALLOWED? 
Due to wanting to ensure the safety of your pet, and this being a busy event, we unfortunately will not be allowing dogs.

WILL FOOD & DRINK BE AVAILABLE? 
Our Field to Fork pop up, RAFTERS, will be firing up the BBQ for our home made smash burgers and hot dogs, PAD THAI STALL will be cooking up their delicious, authentic Thai food, and our Turkey Shed Bar will be moved up to the event for the weekend. 

can we bring our own food & drink? 
No. We have a security firm who will be helping us to monitor all food and drink consumed and will help to make us aware of any serious issues. Anyone found to be bringing food, drink or drugs on to our premises will be immediately removed from our site. 

CAN WE PARK ON SITE?
Unfortunately it is drop off only. We will only be allowing Blue Badge parking due to restrictions on space. We apologise for any inconvenience, but we are on a main route which is easily accessible for taxis, a short walk from many of the villages, a 5 minute taxi ride from the train station, and also a 1 minute walk from the 350 bus route. 

CAN WE PARK OFF SITE?
Unfortunately there is NO PARKING available on the main road due to large restricted bends and this being a main A road. This is already a high incident road and anyone attempting to park on the main road will be REFUSED ENTRY to our festival. 

Is the event under cover? 
Saddleworth Stretch Tents are providing excellent coverages for our event, meaning that we can all also enjoy the fabulous views. 

IS THIS EVENT SUITABLE FOR UNDER 12s? 
Whilst this is a family friendly event, we also need to make it very clear that alcohol will be served and the event will include late performances which due to their act, may involve strong language which would not be considered suitable.

WILL UNDER 18S NEED TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SUITABLE ADULT OR GUARDIAN? 
Yes, under 18s will be required as above.  

WHAT TIME IS FESTIVAL ENTRY? 
Entry to the festival will be at 2pm on both days. Drop offs may start at 1pm.
