Join our Crew! Become a Friend of Push the Boat Out.
We’re delighted to launch the very first Friends Scheme for Push the Boat Out! By joining, you’ll be helping to secure the future of Edinburgh’s International Poetry Festival – a joyful celebration of poetry, spoken word, performance, music and more – as well as our year round and community outreach programmes. And you can enjoy some brilliant benefits along the way.
Why Join?
10% off everything at the festival and year-round, including our brilliant value festival pass. Festival passes allow access to all standard festival events and half-price workshops. Friends who are also festival pass holders will receive an additional 10% off workshops. (non-friend festival pass holders received 50% off workshops)
Priority booking for festival passes and workshops, during the festival and year round. You will be given a link for early access and will be able to book from a friends allocation before sales open to the public.
Exclusive invitations to our programme launch and opening party.
A beautifully designed festival programme posted to your door, along with a personal Friends membership card.
Four updates each year, packed with insider news, recommendations and special offers.
Join now for extra value
Friends memberships will usually be valid from April to March each year. But by supporting us in this first year, you’ll not only be able to enjoy an introductory price of £40 for membership until March 2026, you’ll also be able to renew at the same price for 2026/27.
Why should you support us?
Joining our community will provide vital support for us to develop our unique, vibrant, eclectic festival, alongside artist development work, supporting communities, and year round programmes. With your help we can continue to contribute to increasing the diversity of poetry – in form, cross-art form pollination, voices platformed and who feels welcome as audiences and participants.
