We also have a limited number of tickets available on the door today (Sat 5th October) at the wristband exchange box office at Circle Square Reception, Oxford Rd, Manchester, M1 7FS. Please note, this closes promptly at 7.30pm!

How does the festival work and where is the wristband exchange?

Please bring your ticket with you to the wristband exchange, which is located at Circle Square Reception, Oxford Rd, Manchester M1 7FS

This is open from 10am (first venue doors are set to open at 11.45am) and will close promptly at 7.30pm (if you arrive after this time then you will not be able to use your ticket).

Each customer must attend with their own ticket, as the wristband will be physically put on at the exchange point.

You can then use your wristband to get into all participating venues, subject to capacity.

Don’t worry if you get to the venue of choice and it is at full capacity, with so much happening across multiple venues, you’ll be able to hop to another venue. There’ll be something for everyone, and a great way to embrace NBHD Festival!

See you there!

 

Is there a Neighbourhood Festival app?

Yes! Our app helps you keep track of the venue splits and line up times, and add your favourite artists to create your own personal schedule. Not only this, but you can receive live festival updates!

We provide a 2 for 1 ticket scheme to those individuals who cannot enjoy the festival without bringing a Personal Assistant. Accessible ticket types will be available to purchase here and a PA ticket will automatically be added to the booking.

Please note that once you have booked your accessible ticket, you will be emailed with a proof of disability request.

I have a question about my tickets. Who can help?

The way the festival works if you’ve not been before is, we have a designated ‘wristband pick up point’ (details of the location will be available closer to the time of the festival). You come there on the day of the festival with your entry ticket, and get your wristband fitted so you can venue hop at all participating venues on the day!
