Where can I find the latest info. on the Totnes Ukulele Festival 2026?

What provision is there for disabled access at the venues?

Part of the charm of Totnes is the number of listed buildings in the town centre, unfortunately this impacts on disabled access to some of our buildings including the Barrel House Ballroom (Thu evening) & workshops at Birdwood House due to the stairs.  However, the Civic Hall & St. Mary's church have ramped access to the venue, but not the stages.

How close is the parking to the main venues, such as the Civic Hall, Birdwood House & Barrel House Ballroom?

All three of our venues are less than one min. apart and the town centre has a number of carparks.  Try the following carparks the 'Nursery' - TQ9 5GJ, 'Heath Nursery' - TQ9 5EA, 'North Street' - TQ9 5NQ or the 'Old Market' - TQ9 5SP.

Are there any ticket discounts available?

Yes, for amateur ukulele groups and acts we're able to offer you a 20% discount on ticket prices if you'll play at the Saturday morning 'Big Busk - multi-site busking' and/or on Saturday afternoon at the Devon Ukulele Proms.  Email the Totnes.Ukulele@outlook.com with details on the tickets you'll be purchasing (Long weekend, weekend or Sat only etc.) to secure your bespoke discount codes.
