Venues

You should be able to find the venues by referring to the map within the programme, but please ask at the Festival Office in the Old Bridge Hotel if you have any problems. Please note that we have included information on accessibility this year to help you make informed decisions as to which venues might be suitable if you have impaired mobility.

 

The Festival Office is located in The Old Bridge Hotel, which is in the centre of Holmfirth across the bridge from the bus station. Our friendly voluinteers will assist you with queries about anything, to purchase tickets, programmes and merchandise, including t-shirts, tote bags, badges and our 2021 Live Streaming CD.
