Hi Surreysinger
I rang the Festival enquiries office about 5 mins before I wrote the post above. They said the prog wasn't available yet but to send the envelope in ready.
Either they were a bit ahead of themselves when they printed the newsletter or the two offices aren't in contact. (The address I was told to use is the ticket office.)

And, guest jj, it's hard to recommend things without knowing what sort of thing you're looking for.

As well as the programme, if anyone has any directions or can recommend activities or places that will be worth doing/visiting etc - it would be a great help. Thanks for your help so far - look forward to meeting you all

I thought the newsletter which came out last week suggested otherwise Sue ... mind you I haven't re-read it yet to double check

There are two addresses for the festival on the web-site. To get the programme the one where you need to send your A5sae (60p) is PO Box 137, Queensbury, Bradford BD13 1WS

I'm told it's not actually available yet. Don't forget to give your booking number, since the programme is only free to season ticket holders.

Me I wonder if the Abba thing will be before Shagpile on Wednesday night

The latest newsletter gives the announcement of an ABBA ceilidh on an as yet undetermined night

I think that the key is the reference to coming along in 70's/80s gear This seems to indicate an "ABBA" fancy dress ceilidh rather than an ABBA music ceilidh.
I certainly hope so :0)

The festival newsletter came out at the end of last week - stating that programmes are available (if you've got your ticket) for 60p stamped addressed envelope A5ish size sent to the Whitby Festival office address - I'm pretty sure that there are instructions on the website of how to get hold of them.

Whitby FF Site A quick scan didn't seem to mention programmes, but there are contact details.

The programmes are usually on sale around the town by now, though I haven't yet seen one [been rather busy]. If you were to arrive without one the festival office would certainly be able to oblige, and so would many shops/pubs, as a rule.

Is it too early ? EH? I've had my ticket since May now... course it's not too early - unless you actually WANT to pay more for it!
