As always, the Limmud Festival team has tried to keep costs down as much as possible. We are very conscious of the increased cost of living and want to ensure that Limmud Festival remains accessible to everyone that wishes to take part.
In the name of transparency, we would like to show you how your ticket price cost is broken down. Please note that these are indicative costs based on a complex pricing model which has projected ticket sales of 1,652 participants.

| Security | The safety and security of all Limmud Festival participants remains our highest priority. In light of the string of attacks on the Jewish community this year, our security costs continue to be a significant part of our budget. These costs have more than trebled in the last four years and we are grateful to CST (Community Security Trust) for their ongoing support and guidance. We will be working closely again this year with CST, the West Midlands Police and a private security guarding firm to ensure the highest level of protection and peace of mind for everyone attending. | £45 |
