FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

UPDATED 08.07.2021 for Covid-19 related questions

Q.  What is the date of our 2021 festival?

A.  The Yorkshire Pudding Festival 2022 will take place on the 1st and 2nd October 2022.

Q.  I have requested a refund, when will I receive the funds?

A.  In line with our ticket terms and conditions, we do not give refunds on our tickets. For the full terms and conditions around this please see our T&Cs HERE.

Q.  Why do I not get the booking fee refunded?

A.  If a refund has been issued the bookings fee is paid to the ticketing company and not ourselves, therefore we have no say in this being held by the ticketing company.

Q.  What are the Opening Times?

A.  The Festival Arena is open from 10am until 9pm, on Saturday 1st October 2022 and 10am until 5pm on Sunday 2nd October 2022. 

Q.  What time is last entry to the festival?

A.  The latest entrance admission at the main gates is 8pm on Saturday 1st Ocotber and 4pm on Sunday 2nd October. Please be aware that we do not reduce the entrance ticket prices at any point during the day. The same fee applies regardless of what time you arrive.

Q.  What does the Ticket Price Include?

A.  Ticket prices include entry to the entire festival site. Tickets will be shown upon arrival to the site and will be scanned upon entry to the festival arena. If you have any specific queries, please contact our team.

Q.  Why is there a booking fee?

A.  Running a ticket agency costs money – the costs of premises, IT, staff, communication, etc, have to be covered – and, in addition, agents provide a service to their customers which has value. Ticket agents are also commercial enterprises, which often have the interests of shareholders to consider. A fee, often calculated as a percentage of the price of each ticket, is therefore added by agents on top of a ticket’s face value to cover both their costs of sale and as a charge for the service provided.

Q.  I can’t find my tickets / they have not been emailed to me?

A.  If you do not receive an email with your tickets following your purchase please check your SPAM mailbox as some service providers send unknown emails automatically to this folder. If you still can’t find them please go onto the ticket purchase help section, link provided: https://designmynight.helpscoutdocs.com/article/81-where-are-my-tickets 

Q.  Can Tickets be purchased on the Days of the Festival?

A.  Tickets sell fast and due to capacity restrictions at the Venue we only have a limited number. If we have any tickets remaining these will be available on the gates at an increased rate, usually £5 more than they are online in advance. Please note the prices change online too on these days but you can still buy Standard Entrance tickets online up until and including the weekend of the festival. Tickets will go off sale at 4pm Sunday 2nd October 2022. If by any chance they are still on sale after this time and you purchase one, no refund will be issued in line with our T&Cs.

Q.  Are Children free?

A.  Children aged 5 or under are free to enter the Festival with an Adult who has purchased a Standard Entrance Ticket. For Health & Safety reasons we require a ratio of one adult to four (4) children 7 years old or under. We take health and safety very seriously and we will be prepared with things like UK safety signage to ensure you have a fun and safe day out.

Q.  Is Camping, Campervans & Caravanning available?

A.  No, sadly with our change of venue this year we are not able to offer camping of any sorts. It is a city centre venue that is a multi story car park.

Q.  Can I get a refund?

A.  Refunds are not available nor do we permit the reselling of tickets. Please see our Ticket Terms & Conditions on our Tickets Page for more information.

Q.  Can dogs attend the Festival?

Q.  Can I get Cash at the Festival?

A.  No, there will be no cashback at the event from either the Festival organisers or any of our vendors, including the bars. The nearest cash machine is outside Tesco on the ground floor.. (We cannot guarantee this machine will be working. So please bring enough cash with you on the day.) Card payments throughout would be appreciated. 

Q.  Is there a Token System?

A.  No, all products on site can be purchased with cash or cards, if the Vendor takes them.

A.  Yes, several of our Vendors offer a range of Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free Food. This is highlighted on our social media, website and on our event guide on the day.

Q.  Can I attend the Festival if I have a Food Allergy?

A.  All our Vendors make every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause the most common allergic reactions, however, there is always a risk of cross contamination and those with allergies should be aware of this. Please check with a Vendor and they will be able to advise.
