Festival Chairperson Valerie Cotter is delighted with the new online booking system and is confident that it will be popular with visitors and newcomers to the festival.

We have introduced this system in response to requests from our many patrons who would like a simple online booking system. In the past couple of years online booking has become the norm and we in Terryglass Arts Festival are proud to be able to offer this to our many supporters and customers, said Valerie.

Visitors to our website will be able to see at a glance our full programme and select the events they wish to attend. We have also just launched our Facebook page and we would be delighted for people to follow us on Facebook, she concluded.

A pre-booking telephone service will be available from Monday 9th August 2010 by calling (087) 2181663. Tickets will then be held to be collected in the village hall from the festival box office from Monday 9th Tuesday 17th August. Tickets must be paid for in full and collected within 48 hours of booking, otherwise tickets will be resold.

Tickets can be purchased online or by phone booking until Tuesday 17th August at 5.00p.m.

Remainder of tickets not sold by Tuesday 17th August will go on sale on from Thursday 19th August at 10am at the festival box office.

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of Terryglass Arts Festival, Kevin McAleers fundraisiing comedy show due to be held on Saturday 31st August has been cancelled.
