We’ve listened to feedback from last year that, at peak times during the festival, the queue for the swings can be too long for some of our audiences. There are now two ways to experience Swing Song – you can still play on the swings for free by joining the normal queue, but this year we will also be trialling a limited number of fast track tickets for the opening weekend which will be available for booking online up until two hours before the festival opens each evening.
Fast track tickets include a 5-minute slot for up to 4 people on 1 swing for £6.50 (+ booking fee). All Fast track tickets must be booked in advance.
Please note that there may be queues of up to 90 minutes to ride on the non-bookable swings at peak times.
All sales from fast-track tickets will be reinvested into funding future editions of Bristol Light Festival.
Please note, visitors who are unable to wait in a queue for long periods of time can make themselves known to our stewards in white high vis vests to be moved to the front of the queue. Read more in our accessibility guide.
