2025 Friday Day and Night-time Ticket - Borris House Festival

Tickets holders for Friday will have access to approximately 20 talks or events across 6 stages - covering debates, discussions, performances, lectures, interviews and readings.

It is a day that is traditionally full of energy and engagement, and speakers have commented on the immediacy of the charms of the audiences at Borris on the opening day. As well as the afternoon and evening of talks, the arrival of dusk brings with it a programme of beautifuly curated live music and irreverent comedy.

This tickets allows you to move freely from one talk to another, but it may not guarantee you a seat in all of them - we operate a first-come-first-served seating policy in each auditorium, but our overall capacity at the festival will ensure there is always a talk somewhere with room for you.

Borris Festival is about experiencing a full day (or weekend) of many intruiging dialogues on diverse and jaw-dropping subjects - rather than visitng a single talk by a writer or speaker you want to hear - so we urge you to dive in. Be warned: due to the intimate capacity of this festival, Friday tickets are likely to be sold out well in advance, and no tickets will be available on the day.

Your day pass is not transferrable to anyone else during the day, and must be accompanied with your ID to access each talk.

NOTE Refunds - with honest and emergency reasons only, will be given until 10th March. You will loose the booking fee that Eventbrite automatically takes, but get the rest back. After that, your money is ours.
