Creating a Shared Listening Space
Hush is built around shared attention. Unlike bigger, noisier festivals, performances take place on an intimate, all-seated stage. When choosing children’s tickets, we kindly ask families to consider which performances are best suited to their children and to the shared listening experience.
An allocation of 'Newham Neighbours' discounted tickets is available for Newham Residents - both for Main Festival Shows (single day tickets only) and and Midweek Shows.
A Newham postcode must be given when purchasing discounted tickets and proof of residence may be requested upon entry (e.g. council tax bill). A maximum of 4 Newham Neighbours tickets per household may be purchased.
For any questions about Newham Neighbours tickets, please email hello@hush-festival.com.
