The Weekend Pass includes:
Entry to all our in-person and digital panels. (Please note that entry to writing workshops, agent one-to-ones and the Fantasy Ball are not included)
Access to all panel recordings until 30 November 2026.
Early booking access from Friday 28th August–Monday 31st August. Tickets go on general sale Tuesday 1st September.
A Weekend Pass will also give you early booking access to our first ever Fantasy Ball! Get ready for a night of dancing, live entertainment (including a ceilidh and DJ!), crafts, storytelling and tarot in the gothic surroundings of Teviot Row House on Saturday 17th October. We'll be revealing more about the ball in the coming weeks, so watch this space!
As our venue has a limited capacity, we ask that you book tickets for all in-person events you wish to attend.
We offer concession tickets for those aged under 26 and over 60, students, disabled people, the unemployed or those on low income.
You don’t have to purchase a weekend pass to join us at CLR. All events are individually ticketed, and entry to our festival venue is free.
We recognise that financial reasons may prevent someone from attending the Festival. In addition to free individual tickets, we are offering complimentary weekend passes. The weekend pass gives you free access to all our live events (with the exception of the workshops, Agent one to ones and the Ball) as well as the recordings on the Cymera YouTube. Requests are kept strictly confidential. Please note that we only have a limited number of in-person passes.
Due to demand, in-person weekend passes will be allocated by lottery by 27 August 2026. More passes may become available closer to the festival.
