Visitor Justine Kenyton (Festival).

Justine Kenyton came in today and spoke about several things it takes to run and plan a festival.
She used to work for Stockwell Festival, and now she works for the Wandsworth Festival.
There are two main types of festival :
- Industry ( money making festivals/events)
- Community/Local Festivals

Planning : (A festival)

- Alot of paperwork to do.
- Laws, Licenses, permissions
- Responsible for safety of members of the public.

*Plan out a table/timeline when working in a team, good technique !*
*Work doesn't finish after the festival e.g. Evaluating*

To persuade companies for money you will need to give/ offer them something e.g. their logo being all over your flyers.

From what I heard planning and organising a festival is really difficult and challenging.
Here are some of the marketing leaflets she brought in to show us :
