How can I get a ticket?
Free tickets for the promenade performances on the City Walls and for the covered seating area in Guildhall Square can be booked here. You can, of course, come to the Square without a ticket – and take your chances on a ‘first come first serve’ basis – to enjoy the festival, the LegenDerry Food Market, the family fun and watch the big screens.

Is Entry to the festival free?
YES! Book your FREE tickets here and you’re in!

Is this a family friendly event?
Absolutely – family fun is at the core of this event. There will be many activities in Guildhall Square such as face painting, balloon modelling and all festival family favourites!

What type of tickets are available?

• Guildhall Grandstand –  Book a comfortable covered seat in our grandstand. You will watch the story unfold along the Walls on a big screen while seeing several presenters reporting live in front of you as they interact in real time with the story unfolding on the Walls.  The final scene is also presented live in Guildhall Square. 
• Walk the Walls – This is an immersive experience that puts you at the very heart of the show. You follow the story, literally, along the Walls. Walking through each scene, sometimes interacting with what’s happening, shaping the mood, atmosphere and story. You need to have energy and enthusiasm but the reward is an encompassing experience unlike any other. 

Do I need a ticket to attend? 
No. You only need a ticket to either accompany the show along the Walls or to be seated in the grandstand in Guildhall Square. (See What type of tickets are available for information – see above). There is a maximum capacity allowed on site therefore audience will be admitted on a first come first served basis. Entrance without a ticket means that there is no seating available for you but you will be able to view and enjoy the show from start to finish while standing in Guildhall Square. 

Will there be food and drink?
We are delighted to welcome LegendDerry Foods to Guildhall Square, so you can sample the best of local food and drink.

How long is each performance?
Each performance of Walled City Passion will last for approximately 75 minutes. Performances will be at 12.30pm and 4.30pm each day, so please check your ticket for your show time. Our site will be open all day from 11.30am – 6.30pm.

Will I be on TV?
