Osmotherley Gathering: Buy Tickets

A weekend at a moorland folk festival is sold in two ways, and the choice is worth making before you set off. The weekend ticket covers the whole run — concerts, workshops, sessions and the dance floor — and comes out lower than paying your way in night by night. Single tickets exist for people who can only get across the moor for one evening, and they are priced by event rather than by day, so a concert, a ceilidh, or the two together are each costed separately.

Concession and child rates run alongside every band of ticket, which is what keeps a village gathering a family one rather than an adults' night out. Seating at the evening concerts is limited by the halls themselves, not by a marquee, so booking ahead matters more here than at a festival with a field to spread into.

Tickets can be posted, in which case postage is added to the order, or left for collection at the box office — the usual choice for anyone arriving on the day.
