Updates to our transaction fee - April 2026

To help us continue delivering a vibrant programme of events and community activity, from Friday 1 May we will be introducing a 5% fee on Box Office transactions, both in person and online. This will replace our £1 transaction fee.

By setting this as a percentage rather than a fixed fee, we aim to keep the approach fair and proportionate as possible.


As part of their benefits, Norden Farm Silver and Gold Members do not pay this fee.


The transaction fee contributes towards the increasing costs comprising box office ticketing software and service, web hosting fees and server upkeep. We have not increased our booking fee since January 2018.


Like many organisations, we are experiencing significantly increased operational costs. Norden Farm is a charitable trust and we operate on such tight margins that every pound really does have an impact on our future.


We remain committed to keeping ticket prices as affordable as possible and we’re grateful for your continued support, which enables us to do what we do.


We thank you for your understanding.
