We are all feeling the economic pinch. That’s why the Woordfees made it a priority to give festivalgoers affordable access to as many quality productions as possible this year. In addition to a great variety of free festival offerings such as art exhibitions and most of the Discussion and Film Festival programme, there are also initiatives to help make tickets more affordable.
