Our first Festivals Awayday was held on Friday 13th September 2024 at Sallis Benney Theatre, University of Brighton and it was such a success, with many attendees who have expressed gratitude for the useful information they’ve gathered from our speakers, that we are considering hosting it every year.
Festivals Awayday is a day of event producers coming from all over East Sussex to come together to talk, share ideas and maybe even discuss potential collaborative work. We also invite artists we have previously worked with, to showcase their work on the day.
Are you interested in coming along next year? Here’s what you could look forward to:
- Networking opportunities throughout the day
- Professional development for producers, Local Authorities, trustees, festival committee members and more
- Build a Festival Producers Network
- See artists’ showcases
- Choose from a programme of workshops on the day
- Funding Ideas
Guest Speakers for 2024 included:
- Arts Council England
- Help to Grow – Dr Adam Jones
- Artichoke – Ma’ayan Plane (Development Director)
- and others…
