Cropredy Festival

Fairport's Cropredy Convention 2010, 12 - 14 August 2010

This year's Cropredy Festival is getting extremely close to a sell out year!!

This means that when the online box office closes on 31 July, if it has reached reached capacity, they will not be able to sell tickets on the day. Please order your tickets online before then to avoid disappointment!! In the last sell out year the organisers had to turn people away at the gate and would hate to have to do that again.

Remember, even if they do have any tickets left, they will cost and extra £5 a piece on the gates, so it makes sense to buy before 31 July, guarantee a place and save some money too.
