For Folkestone Book Festival 2023, we have introduced a cost of living ticket for those that are struggling with the ongoing crisis. Priced at £5, this ticket is for anyone that feels that they cannot afford the full price but would still like to enjoy the festival. This is a "no questions asked" ticket and is operated on an honesty basis.
