Join Sheffield Transformed for their second weekend festival of left-wing politics and culture.
The festival will give people the chance to hear new ideas, take part in discussion, receive training, enjoy art, and be creative. The programme covers local, national and international issues and provide a space for radical, collaborative and creative political education.
Tickets for the daytime festival are on a sliding scale of £0/£8/£15/£20.
Saturday night party tickets range from £5/£8/£12. Please scroll down for further information on the different prices.
Festival Programme
On the Friday, there will be evening sessions starting from 7pm. Over the weekend, three or four sessions will run simultaneously throughout the day, covering a broad range of topics. Sessions will represent the exciting political activism that takes place in South Yorkshire with formats that encourage participation. The full programme will be released in due course.
Saturday Night Party
Line-up to be confirmed.
Party tickets are available for £5/8/12 (pay as you can)
Please note: the party will take place in Raccoon Studios.
Ticket Pricing
We want as many as people as possible to attend the festival and don't want ticket prices to be a barrier. At the same time, we need to raise enough money to cover costs, such as hiring the venue. We've put together a sliding scale of ticket prices so that we can raise the money we need, without pricing anyone out.
When booking a place, we would ask that you select the ticket that you can afford:
£15 Standard Festival Ticket: This is what our budget says we need to charge to cover the event.
£20 Solidarity Festival Ticket: If you are comfortable and have a decent income, please consider paying a little more.
£8 Low Income Festival Ticket: For people on lower incomes who cannot afford the full ticket price.
£0 No Charge: For people who have no disposable income at all. Free tickets are also available to under-18s and carers attending with a ticketholder.
Party tickets: Our Saturday night party requires a separate ticket to the festival. Also available at a sliding scale.
Accessibility and Safer Spaces
Throughout the process of planning the festival, accessibility has been central to our decision making and, as many event planners will know, finding a large venue which is fully accessible in the city is incredibly difficult. Our chosen venues SADACCA, Raccoon Studios and Sheffield Flourish offer many wonderful spaces in the heart of a fantastic community and we have a very exciting and varied programme which we have planned across the whole space. We are using extra venues this year so we have more accessible rooms.
We are in the process of drafting and updating our policies, which will be confirmed in due course but please get in touch on sheffieldtransformed@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Our tiered ticketing system means that attendees can choose the price of their ticket. If you feel that the lack of accessibility in these sessions will compromise your ability to get the most out of our festival, we encourage you to choose our ‘Free’ ticket option.
