Ticket sales have resumed for The Greatest Gathering, a few days after issues with the Mortons Media website.

Tickets for the festival to celebrate 200 years of the railway are now on sale for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd August 2025. To purchase your tickets, please click here to visit the Alstom website.

IMPORTANT: Alstom has provided some important FAQs that you may want to look at before booking your tickets –

Question: Can I bring my dog? Answer: No

Question: Will there be parking on-site? Answer: No, except limited Blue Badge spaces that will be made available nearer the time

Question: Will the event be accessible for those with reduced mobility? Answer: Derby Litchurch Lane Works is both a historic site and a working industrial site, therefore has some uneven surfaces and certain areas will remain strictly off limits to the general public. We will take reasonable steps to accommodate those with mobility issues

Tickets originally went on sale on Friday last week, but sales were suspended a matter of hours later after many users received ‘Bad Gateway’ errors when trying to access the Mortons Media website.

Based on last weeks demand, tickets wont be around for long and the new ticket website is being hosted by See Tickets, who are based in Nottingham.

See Tickets are used to hosting high demand ticket sales, having been responsible for selling tickets to Glastonbury, the Ryder Cup and Winter Wonderland.
