Half price tickets for NHS Staff

To show our gratitude to all NHS staff we’re offering them half price tickets. They’ve just gone on sale this morning on our tickets page. If purchasing these tickets please bring your NHS Photo ID with you to the Festival.

Over the last year we’ve all seen what an incredible job our NHS staff have done in responding to the worst pandemic in a century. The intensive care nurses and doctors, the paramedics, the therapists, the porters, the cleaners, the entire team across the National Health Service have had a difficult year and shone throughout. To show our appreciation we think this is the least they deserve.

We’d love to extend the offer to all caring services and all essential workers but with the best will in the world we sadly don’t have the capacity to do so, or to make the offer retrospective for those who’ve already bought tickets. We’re sorry we can’t please everyone but we do want to say “Thank You” to all who’ve worked so hard during the pandemic, often at considerable risk to themselves.

    It's great, but I have a question, why do flute players often stand on one leg ? Is it just because they can ?

    I’d do a similar thing if you’d book me I guess I’m the leader of the uninvited

    They have a string attached to bellows on their back, gives the lungs a 'breather'..
