Free tickets for Off the Shelf Festival of Words
28 September 2018
Off the Shelf is one of the largest and most accessible literary festivals in the UK. Every year they bring the biggest names in literature and the arts to Sheffield.
Working with Tickets for Good's Ticket Bank programme, Off the Shelf are offering tickets to young people aged 16-25, especially young women, and LBGTQ groups and students to attend for free.
One of the themes of this year's festival is the 100 year anniversary of (partial) suffrage, with 2018 marking 100 years since votes for (some) women were first allowed in the UK. There are lots of events in the festival exploring feminist themes and talks from some amazing and inspiring women, including Helen Pankhurst and Gina Miller.
To request free tickets, email rachel@ticketsforgood.co.uk to arrange.
Charities and Community groups who work with young women and LBGTQ groups are also able to access the tickets via Ticket Bank website.
