Are you interested in attending BFF with a ticket or pass? Here's everything you need to know for your visit to the festival, including picking up your industry accreditation, festival passes, tickets and other practical details.

Getting to Bolton Film Festival

Once you arrive in Bolton you can pick up your industry accreditation at KUDOS gallery, Market Place Shopping Centre, Knowsley Street, BL1 2AL. The Light Cinema is one floor above our ticket office.

If you are a registered pass holder or a ticket holder you can simply show your reservations on your phone using My Tickets.

Interested in buying one of our Festival Passes?

We offer a range of different passes to access the festival, making it better value for money than multiple tickets, by offering more open access to screenings, industry events and industry facilities only available with a festival pass. Please use the chart at the bottom of the screen to evaluate which pass is right for you.

Our Tickets

If you only want to buy a ticket to one programme of films (or talk) then simply head to our Programme Page and buy a ticket for your chosen screening. Remember, if you buy more than two tickets to films (or talks) it might be better value for you to purchase a pass.
