Festival Box Office

Tickets for most festival events can be booked via our ticket agents, Quay Tickets, by phoning the main box office number: 0843 208 0500 or via their website. You can also book online by following the links in our 09 Programme listings. Please note tickets for free events can only be booked by phone.

Responding to audience feedback on booking fees for last year's festival, we've cut all booking fees and transaction charges for any MLF tickets booked through Quay Tickets without raising the overall price of tickets - so, now you can afford to see even more events!

Tickets will also be available on the door for most events, subject to availability - please keep checking the website for updates.
