Membership and Support
Festival Membership
Discover how you can join as an Associate Member and receive priority booking for Festival tickets.
To ensure our Members receive the best possible level of service, we limit the number of Membership places. Each year, when places become available, we welcome new Associate Members into our family of supporters.
By joining as an Associate Member, you receive second priority booking for Festival tickets, as well as a place on the waiting list for full Membership and a number of other benefits, outlined below. Once promoted to full Festival Society Membership, you will have first priority in the ballot for Festival tickets.
