Registration step by step...
Nb. Event registration opens in March but you can get a headstart by connecting to the community now.
Nb. Some local areas have a local coordinator who helps promote and organise the festival within an area. Some will even do the registration for you! Check out the local coordinator hubs here.
1 - Connect with us
Ask for a login to join the community and gain access to the Organiser area - this is where you'll find the registration form and a whole host of regularly updated support materials.
2 - Submit your details
Submit your event details using the form in your Organiser area / My events section. Event registration is open until August 2024.
3 - Check your listings
Most events need to be reviewed by the team before being fully registered, if there's a query we'll be in touch, otherwise you will get an email to notify you that is has been approved for publication. This might take a few weeks as we're a small team, please bear with us!
Listings go live on the website in early summer - do check your entry is correct and present.
4 - Create your promotion materials
Use our online templates to promote your event throughout your community.
5 - Keep us posted
Let us know if anything needs changing in the run up to the event. Double check your risk assessment measures. Then have a wonderful event and tell us all about it afterwards!
