It was the best Ideas Fest yet, and it was also a long two days. You parked a walk away. You queued. You spent the afternoon looking for somewhere quiet to take a call, and you never quite found it.
Ideas Fest Premium fixes all of that. It is the version of Ideas Fest where the logistics stop costing you anything, where a headline speaker sits down with your group every day, and where your ticket pays for someone who could never have afforded to be here.
- Premium entry lane
- Somewhere to relax with other premium pass holders and speakers, exclusive for your use
- Car parking
- Plus access to people ahead of the event
Strictly limited numbers. When they are gone, they are gone.
What you get
The Ideas Fest Premium Lounge
Open all day, both days. Somewhere to sit, work, charge your phone and take the call you have been putting off.
Speakers in the room
Speakers come off stage and into the lounge through the day. No queue at the front, no fighting for ninety seconds of their time.
A private WhatsApp group
Ideas Fest Premium only. It opens before the event and keeps running long after it. A room of people you have actually met.
On-site premium parking
Reserved, close to the gates. Arrive, park, walk in.
Premium loos
Yes, this is on the list. Yes, it is one of the best things about it. Available whether or not you are staying on site.
Coffee
Sit down and talk to successful founders and investors over a coffee in the lounge.
A headline speaker every day
One session a day in the lounge with a headline name, Ideas Fest Premium only.
Ideas Fest Premium merch
A special-edition IF baseball cap and an Ideas Fest tote bag, made for this group, not the six thousand. Something you will actually wear and use long after the weekend.
Priority access lane
The lane opens before the crowds arrive and gives you early access to the field.
The part that matters
Your ticket brings another founder to the field

Before you ask
Ideas Fest Premium
- Do I need to be staying on site?
- No. Everything here works whether you are camping, in a hotel nearby or driving in each morning. That is why there are premium loos and no showers.
- Is this instead of a festival ticket?
- It is the ticket. Full entry to both days is included, so there is nothing else to buy.
- Who gets the place I fund?
- Scholarship applications open in January 2027, aimed at people the festival does not reach on price alone: young, diverse and early stage.
- How many Premium passes are there?
- Strictly limited, and places are allocated in the order they are bought. When they are gone, they are gone.
Ideas Fest Patron
- How is Patron different to Premium?
- Patron is for two people rather than one, includes everything in Ideas Fest Premium twice over, adds a seat at our table on the biggest night of the year, and funds four places rather than one.
- Can one person buy a Patron pass?
- Patron is priced at £2,000 excluding VAT for two people, so it is designed for a pair. If you want to come on your own, Ideas Fest Premium is the right pass.
- How do I buy a Patron pass?
- Patron is not on general sale. Express your interest and Francesca will come back to you directly to arrange it.
- How many Patron passes are there?
- Very few. Numbers are strictly limited and allocated in the order interest is registered.
Two days. Strictly limited numbers. A funded place for every ticket.
