Festival information
Under Canvas will run from 8 July - 30 August, with sessions taking place from Wednesday - Sunday each week.
Tickets
Tickets can be booked online, over the phone or in person.
Tickets are sold on a Pay What You Can basis. We're committed to making Under Canvas accessible to all so there is a range of ticket options available, as well as a £7 Child ticket option and a no-questions-asked Low Income ticket (limited per session). For carer tickets, please contact our Ticket Sales team.
We've also introduced a multi-buy offer, so you can purchase £10 tickets when booking 3+ sessions at the same time (excluding the Final Hoolie).
If you can afford a higher ticket price, your contribution will go directly towards staging the festival and help us employ over 200 artists.
We encourage you to book in advance as capacity is limited per session. Tickets are general admission only with seating and standing space available - to guarantee a good seat, we recommend arriving early.
Children
Under Canvas is a family-friendly festival. Children of all ages are welcome and they must have a ticket, though their safety and well-being remain the responsibility of accompanying adults. Child tickets can be purchased for £7. For children under 12 months, please contact our Ticket Sales team to book a free baby ticket.
Dogs
Dogs are not permitted inside the tent unless they are a Service/Assistance or Emotional Support Dog.
Climate Emergency
Eden Court recognises that there is a climate emergency and, as such, Under Canvas continues to develop with the objective of becoming a more sustainable festival.
Our sustainable travel initiatives encourage and support our performers to use as few vehicles as possible. The majority of our food and drink is produced locally, with food packaging and drinking vessels 100% compostable this year through a hot composting process. This year’s event reuses furniture, lighting and design features from previous festivals and sees the use of electric heaters discontinued for a fourth year, as they are hugely wasteful in terms of CO2 emissions and energy consumption.
We are providing blankets and encourage festivalgoers to bring appropriate clothing if the weather is poor - whilst we’re all keeping our fingers crossed for warm summer nights!
Keychange Pledge
Eden Court is proud to have signed up to the Keychange Pledge.
Keychange is an international gender equity initiative which encourages festivals, conferences and a growing range of music organisations and institutions to sign a pledge to include at least 50% women and gender diverse people in their programming.
