Migfest 2026 Weekend Tickets Sold Out

We're delighted to announce that Migfest 2026 weekend tickets have officially sold out, more than a month before the festival returns to Spurn on 11th–13th September.

06 August 2026

A huge thank you goes to everyone who has booked to join us. The response to this year's festival has been incredible, and we're looking forward to welcoming hundreds of birders, wildlife enthusiasts and first-time visitors to Spurn for what promises to be one of our biggest and best Migfests yet.

This year's programme features an exciting line-up of speakers, including Magnus Robb and Mark Constantine from The Sound Approach on Friday evening, followed by conservationist, author and broadcaster Ajay Tegala on Saturday night. Throughout the weekend, attendees will also be able to enjoy guided walks, bird ringing demonstrations, practical masterclasses, wildlife illustration, photography, nocmig sessions, exhibitors, trade stands and, of course, the opportunity to experience autumn migration at one of Britain's premier bird observatories.

We're also thrilled to announce that The Two Jonnies Podcast will be recorded live at Migfest for the very first time, bringing the festival to a close on Sunday afternoon. Hosted by Jonny Rankin and Jonny Holliday, the podcast has become a favourite among birders for its relaxed, humorous take on birding, conservation and the people behind it. Expect plenty of laughs, special guests and a fitting finale to what promises to be a fantastic weekend.

Although weekend tickets have now sold out, a limited number of Sunday Day Tickets are still available. These provide access to the final day of the festival, including talks, exhibitors, activities and the live recording of The Two Jonnies Podcast. Grab one of the remaining tickets whilst you still can here.

The Migfest Prize Draw is Still Open!

Even if you can't make it to Migfest this year, you can still be part of the festival by entering the Migfest Prize Draw.

With over £3,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, there's something for everyone. The headline prize is a brand-new ZEISS Apia 65 spotting scope, alongside a fantastic selection of optics, books, artwork and birding accessories generously donated by our sponsors and supporters.

Whether you're attending Migfest or not, anyone can purchase prize draw tickets online. Every ticket sold helps support the work of Spurn Bird Observatory Trust, allowing us to continue our vital monitoring, conservation, research and education work at Spurn. You can buy your prize draw tickets here.

Finally, we'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Migfest 2026. Selling out well ahead of the festival is a fantastic milestone and reflects the incredible support we continue to receive from the birding community.

We can't wait to welcome everyone to Spurn this September. For those still hoping to join us, we'd encourage you to book one of the remaining Sunday Day Tickets before they're gone.

See you at Migfest 2026!
