Where do I buy tickets?
Tickets for Realisation 2026 (25th to 28th June) are now on sale and can be bought here via TicketTailor.
Do you have any discounts or bursaries available?
We are pleased that we can offer a small number of bursaries to encourage those who would not be able to attend the festival otherwise and to promote inclusivity and equality. We particularly welcome applications from people under 30 (or thereabouts!).
Please use this short form to make an application. You can also email us or request this application form in other formats.
We suggest you apply as soon as possible, as bursaries will be awarded on a rolling basis.
Bursaries currently cover your ticket cost only which includes use of our beautiful campsite (compost loos, hot showers, and mobile phone charging points are provided.) You need to bring your own camping equipment. You are welcome to upgrade to a glamping belltent: please see the Realisation website for more information or email Olivia on realise@realisationfestival.com to find out more.

How do I get to St Giles from Heathrow Airport?
By public transport the easiest is probably to:
1) take the Railair bus from Heathrow to Woking railway station (travel time about 40 minutes)
https://www.railair.com/
Tickets can be bought in advance via this website or on the day
2) take a train from Woking to Salisbury (some but not all trains are direct, otherwise one change, travel time about an hour)
3) from Salisbury station to St Giles is about 30 minutes drive by taxi, or there is a Festival bus that meets 2 trains on the afternoon of 26th June (details will be sent when you book your place)
Alternatively you could drive – it’s about 90 miles and car hire is normally around £30/day.
Or share a taxi with other people, (probably around £300 in total, depending on the time of day).
