Festivals

Festivals can provide a great opportunity for outreach, as they bring together large numbers of people, hopefully all in a good mood and with an open mind! If you’d like to represent XR at a festival, the following will help to get you started.

Applying

Fundraising and email list sign ups

Two very important ways for interested people at the festival to take their first step towards geting involved with XR, are joining our email list or donating.

Safety and Security

Next step is to make sure that your group and others attending the festival will be safe and secure in order to have a great time.

Public Liability Insurance (PLI)

This advice is aimed at local groups who need to get PLI in order to go to festivals, run public creative outreach stands or set up their own small festivals.

Risk Assessments

You can find an XR example risk assessment here, feel free to copy and edit so that it's relevant to your event.

Stage Programming and Stage Management

If you are going one step further and planning to help with musicians/artists programming, then see the support in the Action Support book here


For further information or assistance please feel free to contact the Festivals Circle on our Mattermost Channel.
