Due to significant operational pressures on what is a very small team at Petersfield Town Council, along with the difficulties obtaining cash when we run low due to the closure of our local bank branch, that it has been agreed following discussions with the Finance Team and Town Clerk that Festival Hall will now be operating a Cashless bar at events going forward.

We accept Visa and Mastercard, including Apple Pay/Google Pay etc however we do not accept AMEX.

This will, following the completion of The Musical Festival, also extend to The Box Office – which will still be operating with a small amount of cash where necessary this year, in addition to card as normal.

Ice Creams and Programmes for The Musical Festival, however, will continue to be purchasable in cash as well as card – as these are being managed by The Musical Festival directly, and we do encourage you to buy (and enjoy) both as sales of these directly support The Musical Festival which celebrates 125 fantastic years.

Many thanks, and apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
