before the festival?
Answer: We may not be able to process your order within this timeframe. You
should contact us by email to determine if seats are still available.
Question: When should I purchase my tickets?
Answer: As soon as possible after ticket sales start. Many of our events sell out
early. When we have sold out for a particular session, we will start a wait list for tickets that may become available through cancellations.
Question: Can I pay for my tickets now and pick them up at the festival?
Answer: We prefer to mail your tickets to avoid long waits at the Box Office during the festival.
However, if you are traveling during the period before the festival starts, we can hold them for you to pick up.

Heritage Centre in Eastport, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is an air-conditioned theatre with professional lighting and sound, and comfortable seating.

Answer: Accommodations are available at the Terra Nova National Park for RV/Camping. Accommodations are also available at Traytown and Glovertown just a short drive from The Beaches Heritage Centre.
Question: How do I buy tickets to the Sunday Supper?
Answer: Because of the limited seating, supper tickets are sold only at the Festival. You can purchase them in the Annex at the Reception Desk. A sign-up sheet will be started on Friday at 4:00 p.m. and tickets will be released at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Question: What is the refund policy for tickets I have bought?
Answer: Ticket RefundPolicy: If an event is sold out and there is
a waiting list for the event for which a ticket refund is
requested, pre-purchased tickets can be returned prior to August 1 for a refund, less a $2.00 handling charge per ticket.
After August 1, a “no-refund policy” will be in effect.
