Friends

Friends receive a two-week priority booking period ahead of public booking, running from Monday 24 February to Sunday 9 March 2025.

Simply purchase your Friends membership, login to the website within the priority booking period, and you will see 'Book Tickets' buttons on the event pages.

Becoming a Festival Friend is a fantastic way to keep in touch with Swaledale Festival and to provide the long-term support that is so vital to the Festival's future. Our Friends play an important role in helping to fund, build and sustain all that we do.

Other benefits include:

  • An invitation to an exclusive Friends' Reception during the Festival.
  • The opportunity to be part of the Festival community with the knowledge that your support is helping it to thrive.

Friends membership lasts one calendar year from 1 January to 31 December. Please note, if you join after 30 June (i.e. after the Festival) your membership will last until the end of the following calendar year.

" I feel privileged to have been a Friend of the Festival for many years. With its abundance of events that appeal to a wide audience, its dynamic Artistic Director and the amazing and accomplished performers, the Festival goes from strength to strength".
