Tickets
As you might have spotted, our events are a little bit
different to our last ‘in-venue’ festival in 2018.
Many events are FWO promoted, whilst others are
promoted by our partners. However, our website at
www.folkweekendoxford.co.uk has info on every event,
whoever it is promoted by, and links to ticket sales for
every performance.
For most events, there may be tickets available at the
door, but to guarantee your seat we always recommend
you buy in advance.
Ticket prices for individual events can be found alongside
the event listings on pages 9-31. As always there are
plenty of free events throughout the weekend as well!!
On many of our events there is an option to pay a little more or to pay a little less.
Simply choose whichever payment option suits you best, no questions asked.
