How does it work?

The festival is made up of around 100 individual shows which take place around Aberystwyth between 3 – 6 October 2024.

Each show has its own capacity depending on the size of the room which range from 50 – 900 seats. The majority of which are spread along the seafront, but with a cluster in the Arts Centre on the University Campus.

You only buy a ticket for the show(s) you want to see, allowing you to go and watch as much or as little as you want across the weekend. Certain shows will sell out so if there’s a show you really want to see then it is best to buy tickets in advance via the website.

If you’d rather take your pick on the weekend, there is a festival box office at the Bandstand on the Prom selling tickets to all remaining shows.

Many of the ticketed shows have an age limit so it is worth checking before buying tickets for anyone under 18. There are dedicated family shows, including performances for young children.

However, there’s plenty going on in the town if you just want to come and soak up the atmosphere!

For outdoor enthusiasts, Aberystwyth has some stunning coastal walks, scenic bike trails and incredible nature reserves all right on the doorstep.

We look forward to welcoming everyone in October!
