Tickets for The Stitch Festival are non-refundable.

Please be assured that should The Stitch Festival have to be cancelled for any reason, ticket holders will be offered the choice to transfer their booking to 2025 or receive a refund.

Please note that if you choose the refund option, the full cost of the entry tickets and/or workshops will be refunded but the transaction fee will be retained.

The transaction fee covers the costs of processing your order, producing your tickets, and in the case
of postal delivery, the packing and delivery of the tickets to you.

The fee applies to postal, print at home and e-tickets to cover the costs of: credit card fees; ticketing technology; onsite scanning staff, customer services and administration, all of which are involved in the processing, production and issuing of your tickets as well as safe and secure access to the event.

We are doing all we can to manage these costs amidst all costs rising to deliver events and constantly reviewing fees and the customer experience and value for money at our events.

The transaction fee applies per order not per ticket. For example, if you purchase six tickets, you only
pay one transaction fee.
