Why do I have to pay for tickets to some of the events?

The Festival of the Imagination is a not-for-profit event, and features an education programme for local schools, as well as public events and activities. The Festival is subsidised by the University of Warwick. In order for us to offer the schools programme free of charge to participating schools, (benefiting nearly 900 local year 6 pupils), we will be charging a fee for tickets to some of the public events. The Festival will also feature a range of events that will be free to attend, in order that the Festival as a whole is accessible to all.
