Slapstick Festival Pass
We do offer a limited number of passes to people who wish to attend every event during the four days. The pass (which is a collection of tickets for every event throughout the festival*) offers a huge saving on the regular price of tickets. If you purchase tickets from the Colston Hall Box Office in person with cash or a cheque no booking charge is incurred.
 
The festival pass provides tickets to every event throughout the festival including the Slapstick Gala for  £130.00 (for 15 events).  The Slapstick festival pass is only available from the Colston Hall box office only and subject to a 8% booking charge.

*Passes do NOT include tickets to the Bristol Old Vic Steptoe & Son show (24th Jan) which needs to be booked independently.
Pass holders will be able to choose between a pass including the Silent Comedy Gala with Victoria Wood (25th Jan) or for those who have previously purchased this
ticket excluding the gala.
