It's still a relatively young festival but it has grown quickly to become one of the region¹s most popular and high profile events. We've attracted a great line-up yet again but we're just as pleased to be able to offer all the little extras that make the event so special ­ great entertainment for children, three live music stages featuring the best of local talent and of course, some great ticket discounts for City residents."

Tickets are priced at £35, or £20 for adult Citycard holders (City of Nottingham resident), a teen aged 11-17 year old ticket is priced at £20, or £15 if a Citycard 360 holder (City residents), and all children under 10s have free entry. Tickets for the festival go on sale on Friday 4th March.
