The 2026 Hidden Door Festival – the Last Shift at the Paper Factory is almost here.

The short festival takes place at the same venue as last year out at Maybury for just five days from 3 to 7 June.

According to the festival crew: “Ticket sales are really ramping up and Hidden Door are about to move all nights up to the next price tier – the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket!“

The volunteer run festival is a non-profit and every purchase supports the charity and the creatives who produce work exhibited during the weekend – whether it is artwork, music, spoken word or poetry.

There are all sorts of tickets including Pay What You Can.

The festival has issued a call to action for people to volunteer themselves to help out both now ahead of the event and during the event itself.
