Thanks to the financial and personal support from the Friends of the Festival, we are able to put on a huge variety of events for all parts of the community with some of the best talent Sussex has to offer.

The Friends Priority Booking period opens two weeks before tickets go on general sale.

Friends Benefits

Friends membership costs just £25 a year and gives you access to a two week priority booking period before tickets go on sale to the general public.

As well as this early opportunity to purchase tickets, Friends receive an exclusive invitation to the Friends of the Festival Launch event.

During the 2 weeks of the Festival local businesses have great offers solely for Friends of the Festival.
