Tickets for the 2026 Festival are now on sale.

We’ve worked to keep prices reasonable, and sometimes even low. With capacity limited for a number of events we’re expecting a good demand, and so we recommend booking as soon as you can.

Please note that for some events – including the Peedie Kirk lunches and West Side Cinema – there is no advance booking and you just pay at the door with cash.

For all other events, booking online in advance guarantees a space and also streamlines arrangements when you arrive at the venue. If you haven’t booked, then cash at the door is needed as we are not able to take card payments.

In addition to the various tickets sold for individual events, there is also a LecturePass. This is a block ticket which for only £65 (or £58 with concessions), provides admission to all the £7 & £5 talks. It’s really good value, as it gives admission to a total of 41 events – it covers all those in the Orkney Theatre, Kirkwall Baptist Church and the King Street Halls, including the closing concert ‘On Memory’.
