There are hundreds, if not thousands, of festivals that take place in the UK every year, and each of them is unique. Organising your own festival can be an exciting and enriching experience, but it is also hard work, and this book shows you how to start, run and improve your festival, large or small, with advice from many successful organisers. Soon you will have the confidence to answer the following:
· How do I transform my ideas into concrete plans?
· What makes a festival a success?
· How do I calculate my budget and raise the money I need?
· How do I set about booking artists, speakers, musicians or demonstrators and ensure they turn up?
· What do I do if things don't go to plan?
Whether you already work in the industry or it's always been your ambition to create and host an event, A Festival Organiser's Bible demonstrates clearly how to bring your dreams to fruition.
