Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Please make sure you’ve added the right tickets to your basket when you check out.

16. Street Eats was really busy last year. What are you doing to limit waiting times this year?

Last year’s festival attracted over 67,000 visitors. We’ve heard the feedback, and this year we’re limiting queues by reducing the number of people at the festival. There is a small ticket fee for entry, which makes sure that we can limit numbers and that everyone at the festival has a good time. The days are now split into session times to reduce queues and we have more traders overall (in particular more hot food traders). Quality over quantity, every time, but especially when it comes to food!
