Worcester Film Festival 2025 is fast approaching, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to a week packed with independent cinema, special previews, lively discussions, and unforgettable events. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a film enthusiast, or simply someone who loves the magic of the big screen, we’ve designed a range of passes to make your festival experience as enjoyable and flexible as possible.
From full access to the entire programme to single-day passes for those who want to dip their toes into the festival atmosphere, there’s something for everyone. Here’s everything you need to know to help you decide which pass is right for you.

Perfect if your main focus is diving into the incredible slate of independent films.
What’s included:

All Officially Selected independent films (Thursday, Friday, Saturday)
-
Discounts with our Friends of the Festival partners
-
20% off food and drink at ODEON
Please note: Special Presentations and Preview Screenings require separate tickets.
Day Passes – Perfect for a Shorter Visit
Not everyone can commit to the whole festival, and that’s why we offer Day Passes. These digital passes are designed for those who want to experience the festival for a day, whether you’re local, visiting for the weekend, or simply curious about what the festival has to offer.
You can choose from three different Day Passes:
-
Thursday Film Pass – giving you access to all of Thursday’s Officially Selected independent films.
-
Friday Film Pass – covering all of Friday’s Officially Selected independent films.
-
Saturday Film Pass – which includes access to all of Saturday’s Officially Selected independent films, including repeat screenings.
Each Day Pass also includes a 20% discount on food and drink at ODEON. As with the Film Pass, preview screenings and special presentations are not included and must be booked separately.
This option is ideal if you want a taste of the festival or if you’re only free on certain days but don’t want to miss out on the excitement.
Awards Ceremony Tickets
It wouldn’t be a festival without an awards night to celebrate the incredible talent showcased throughout the week. Please note that our Awards Ceremony is not included in any pass, and tickets must be purchased separately. If you’d like to join us for this inspiring evening, be sure to follow the link to the Awards Ceremony event page to book your place.
How to Book Your Pass
Once you’ve purchased your chosen pass, all applicable events will become redeemable through our Festival Schedule. Please remember that a booking is required for every screening and event, so take a little time to explore the schedule and plan out your festival journey.
