Availability
We’re starting to distribute printed programmes to shops, cafés and other outlets now. We’ve also stocked 1855, Sturminster Newton with printed tickets (or they can be bought online via Ticketsource)
If you visit and find they have run out we’d be very much obliged if you could let us know (use our contact form or the SturLitFest phone) so we can restock.
