Margaret River has plenty of accommodation options both in town and throughout the wider region - check out our list of choice places to stay HERE.

3hr parking for the Main Exhibition at Margaret River HEART is available at the front and rear of the building, though if you intend to stay in town we recommend you take your feet to the streets and make the most of the many events all within close walking distance of each other in central Margaret River. Alternatively, each venue has its own parking facilities as usual, though if you intend to drink we ask that you make a plan beforehand. Information can be found on local taxi services below.

All of the venues have wheelchair access, and most have disabled parking options along with disabled toilet facilities. Margaret River HEART has all three. For seated performances, please contact us with details and we'll make sure to reserve you an easily accessible seat. The festival also honours the NDIS Companion Card Scheme; please get in contact before booking tickets so that we can arrange this for you. Any Q's, don't hesitate to ask.

Yes - all ages welcome, though with some exceptions. We're all about inspiring the next generation of pickers and pluckers, and we've made the festival as accessible and welcoming as possible to facilitate this. There are plenty of free events, and paid events are free to kids 12 and under provided they have a parent with a festival pass or ticket as they will need to be supervised at all times. Many of the festival venues also have playgrounds and fun stuff to keep the kids happy, though some become strictly 18+ after a certain time, so if you intend to be out into the evening please contact the venue beforehand to be sure or check for an 18+ sign on the festival program. Under agers (U18 years) must be accompanied by a parent/carer at all times in our licensed venues, though the following venues are strictly 18+: - Settlers Tavern after 9pm - The River Hotel after 9pm Please keep in mind that there may be some language or performances you may consider unsuitable for children due to some artists' freedom of expression. If you haven't already, check out the YOUTH PROGRAM.

Yes! You can find plenty of incredible options at all the festival venues, or a short walk along the main street if you want even more choice. The only exception to this is Margaret River District Club. Margaret River HEART will have some awesome food trucks Saturday 8th Oct 9am-7pm & Sunday 9th October 9am-3pm, otherwise we'd recommend enjoying the menu at The River right across the road if you're sticking close to the hub for events.

Problems with Covid? See answers in T's&C's or get in touch.

Children (12 years and under) get free admission to all festival events (provided you have a valid festival pass or event ticket) but need to be under adult supervision at all times. Settlers Tavern and The River are strictly 18+ after 9pm, though under agers are allowed at other licensed venues provided they are accompanied by an adult at all times. If you intend to bring your child for a workshop, please let us know. Workshops are free for U13's to attend, provided a parent guardian holds a festival pass or single ticket to the workshop. Passes for 13-17's are standard price. If you haven't already, check out the YOUTH PROGRAM (out in August) for tons of stuff just for the kids.

You'll have access to all festival events over the weekend as long as you have your wristband and photo ID. Make sure to read the important information regarding passes, along with Terms & Conditions.

No. Your ticket will be sent to you via email once the booking process has been completed. To save paper we encourage that you save this to your phone/tablet to show event staff when you arrive to collect your pass. If you forget, no worries - your name will be on the list and our ticketing staff will just need to see your valid photo ID - however it will be faster and easier for everyone if we can just scan the QR code on your ticket rather than looking you up in the system.

If you can't find your confirmation email with enclosed ticket, email us at hello@stringsattachedfestival.com.au and we'll resend it to you. Make sure you put in your correct email as we'll also use this to send you a link to the registration portal when it opens.

Never fear - all pass holders also receive a wristband to wear. You'll be able to get into all events with your wristband, however you won't be able to get in without your wristband, so be sure to keep it on for the weekend!

Yes! That is preferred - just make sure your device is readable (eg. cracked screens, charged).

Sorry we don’t. We keep our ticket prices as affordable as possible along with offering plenty of free events as part of the festival program. Sign up to our mailing list for first access to Early Release tickets, which are cheaper.

Yes, but only from Tixel - you can find secondhand tickets HERE when available.

For any resale of tickets we strongly recommend you use Tixel to protect yourself against scammers. Check out the easy process HERE - you can even keep your ticket listing private so no one else can buy it if you already have a seller or just want to give it away to a friend.

This year we've done away with the event registration system we'd used since 2019 in order to simplify things for everyone. Starting from this year, events will operate on a first-in-best-dressed basis, so make sure you arrive on time!
