Audience Access FUND

We know that the cost of tickets — as well as things like childcare or travel — can make it harder for some people to attend events. That’s why we have the Audience Access Fund. This fund is here to help cover any costs that might stop you from coming to the festival.

It’s open to anyone who needs support – for example, if you are an asylum seeker or refugee, disabled, unemployed, or facing other financial challenges.

You do not need to show proof of your situation. The application process is simple: if you need help paying for tickets, travel, or childcare, please fill out the below form, or email us at hello@samizdat.co.uk. Your personal information will only be seen by the festival team.

Funds are limited and will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Please note we cannot cover travel costs from outside the local area, and can only offer up to £50 per person towards childcare costs.
