Drumroll, please … this is the notice you've all been waiting for …

Tickets for the Allen Valleys Folk Festival 2026 are going on sale on Saturday 21st March and Sunday 22nd March.

Last year we sold out in a record 5 hours, so don't miss out.

Details are as follows:

Local sale of festival weekend passes …

We love seeing our local supporters! Head down to St. Cuthbert’s Church Hall in Allendale on the morning of Saturday 21st March to grab your Festival weekend passes in person. It’s the perfect chance to chat with the team and get that physical ticket in your hand before the online rush begins.

We will be selling adult festival weekend passes and youth festival weekend passes, for those aged between 12 years and 24 years, between 10:00am and 12:00noon.

The Online General Release …

Can’t make it to the church hall? No problem! The general sale of festival weekend passes goes live on the evening of Sunday 22nd March at 7:00pm. Adult festival weekend passes and youth festival weekend passes, for those aged between 12 years and 24 years, will be available to buy.

We are also bringing back the Payment by Instalments scheme for online purchases, making it easier than ever to spread the cost of your festival weekend.

Saturday Night: The Ultimate Dance Party …

Saturday night at the Allen Valleys Folk Festival is legendary for a reason—it’s Dance Night!

If you can’t join us for the full weekend but don’t want to miss on one of the highlights of the festival, we will be releasing a strictly limited number of Saturday-night-only tickets online.

The wait is nearly over - See you in the front row!
