Ticket Tip: This is a ticketed event. We strongly recommend booking online in advance, as only a limited number of tickets will be available on the door. Ticket holders receive priority entry. Please arrive 15 minutes before the event starts. Due to limited venue sizes, our island location, and possible waiting lists, late arrivals may have their places offered to another waiting guest.
Ferry Tip: Daytime ferries from Baltimore will get you to Cape Clear in time to enjoy other festival events before this performance. The 5pm ferry from Baltimore (arriving approx. 5.45pm), is also recommended. A later 7pm ferry from Baltimore (arriving approx. 7.45pm) is available but passengers choosing this option should be aware that it leaves very little time to reach the venue before the event begins and will require taking the island taxi from the pier. Ferry spaces are limited, so advance booking is advised. Pre-booked tickets must be collected from the ferry office on Baltimore pier before boarding. See Cape Clear Ferries for timetables and booking.For those not staying on the island- the last evening ferry is leaving Cape Clear pier at 6pm and arriving in Baltimore at around 6.45pm. Please note that ferry seats are limited, book in advance to ensure you get yours! A physical copy of your prebooked tickets will still need to be collected at the ferry office on the pier before queuing to board https://www.capeclearferries.com/timetables/
