Terms & conditions

The London Screenwriters’ Festival (LondonSWF) sets out to secure agreements from each speaker and workshop leader prior to announcing their involvement and commitment to appear. However, one or more speakers may be unable to appear or may not arrive at their scheduled time for any number of reasons. The Festival cannot be responsible if a speaker does not appear as scheduled or appear at all.

Additionally, the London Screenwriters’ Festival sessions and workshops may be cancelled or rescheduled at any time; and the London Screenwriters’ Festival retains the right to change the content of any session at any time.

Should you be unable to attend you can request a 90% refund on or before January 1st 2027 at midnight BST. Beyond that point no refunds are possible, though you can sell or gift your ticket. We are not liable for any costs to attend an event should it be cancelled or postponed, such as transport, accommodation or loss of earnings. In the event of force majeure (events beyond our control) we will reschedule the event when reasonably practical and you will be issued a ticket for rescheduled dates. You will not be entitled to a refund in this instance. If you are unable to attend the new dates, you can gift or resell your ticket or use the value in credit towards the cost of our other events either in the real world or online.

The London Screenwriters Festival is no longer offering rollover tickets to the next festival if you are unable to, or choose not to attend. We reserve the right to decline admission and offer a full refund at our discretion. We reserve the right to change the venue and dates of the event and in some circumstances, move the event online. We reserve the right to cancel the event and offer a full refund.

Finally, we promise to deliver an awesome experience. Yes lawyers made us write this stuff above, and rightly so, Covid-19 revealed just how the world can change dramatically. If you have a problem, connect with us and we will do our very best to find a solution for you. We always have and we always will do our very best.
