High resolution images of our festival participants and events are available. To request images please email [email protected]. 

Professional photographers are welcome, but numbers are strictly limited to ensure the audience experience is not compromised. Photographers are not allowed to take photographs on the Festival site without appropriate accreditation. Registration for accreditation will re-open in 2025.

All requests to interview Festival speakers, performers or staff must be arranged via the Press Office. Please contact us with details of your interview requests.

Many of our events are filmed and almost all are audio recorded, selected recordings are then posted on our Watch & Listen webpage. If you would like to use any of our material on your channels, please contact [email protected].

All on-site filming or recording must be agreed with the Press Office in advance of the Festival. Videographers are not allowed to film on the Festival site without appropriate accreditation. To request accreditation email [email protected] with details of what you would like to film.
