Festivals Together: Training & Networking for the Events Sector

Following the success of How to Organise Your Own Festival or Event organised by the Visitor Economy Team and Vibrant Shropshire, Festivals Together dives deeper into the practical skills, knowledge and connections needed to deliver safe, successful and inspiring events.

This half‑day workshop brings festival and event organisers together to explore best practice, strengthen sector-wide collaboration and build confidence in the policies and procedures that underpin great event delivery.

This event is made possible thanks to funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

What to Expect

• Training on key operational areas, policies, and procedures
• Case studies and insights from experienced organisers and sector professionals
• Interactive discussions on challenges, solutions and emerging trends
• Networking opportunities to connect with peers, share experiences and spark new collaborations

Whether you’re developing a new festival, scaling an existing one, or simply looking to strengthen your knowledge, Festivals Together offers a supportive space to learn, ask questions and build relationships across the sector.

Who Should Attend

• Festival and event organisers
