Discounts

Accessibility is important to us, which is why we offer a wide range of discounted passes to our delegates. Scroll down to see the full range of pass types including Freelancers and Indies.

All passes offer the same access and benefits:

Access to all 4 days of the Festival programme
Access to Festival parties and drinks receptions

Bursaries

We know that for some, even a discounted pass is unaffordable. As part of our mission to make the TV industry more accessible to all, we’re funding free bursary places for hundreds of people who would otherwise be unable to attend. 

To see if you are eligible for any of our initiatives, or if you are interested in supporting the TV Foundation, click below to find out more.

What your pass Funds

Did you know that we are the leading charitable organisation supporting the development of future TV industry leaders? We don’t make a profit from our events. Instead, the proceeds from your Festival pass are invested straight back into the TV Foundation.

The Network and Visionaries are our much-loved existing schemes that have helped over 4,000 individuals to date. The Foundation also supports our annual New Voice Awards event which partners with year-round industry initiatives on topics including bullying and mental health.

Thanks to paying delegates and sponsors, we’re able to offer fully funded places at the Festival. This includes access to tailored workshops, masterclasses and networking opportunities. We also offer year-round mentoring, training, job placements and events.
