About Festival Finder UK
Festival Finder UK was created to solve a simple but important problem: finding information about performing arts festivals can be hard, and festivals often work in isolation, presenting essentially the same information in different ways. Festival Finder UK records and preserves UK competitive arts festivals and their editions.
The Problem
Festivals are an important part of the performing arts community, but discovering them and understanding what they offer can be challenging:
-
Information is scattered: Finding details about festivals, their schedules, entry requirements, and locations can require searching multiple websites, social media pages, and directories.
-
Festivals work in isolation: Many festivals operate independently, each building their own website and systems, often duplicating effort and presenting similar information in different formats.
-
Limited visibility: In an increasingly digital world, festivals need better visibility to reach participants, audiences, and supporters.
Our Solution
Festival Finder UK provides a centralised directory that helps festivals get discovered and helps participants find the information they need. Our first mission is to make it easy to find and share:
-
Contact details: Easy access to festival contact information so participants can get in touch.
-
Social media links: Direct links to festival social media accounts for updates and engagement.
-
Festival dates: Clear information about when festivals are taking place.
-
Entry open and close dates: Important deadlines for participants to know when entries open and close.
-
Syllabus upload: Festivals can upload their syllabus so participants can easily access entry requirements and class information.
Our Mission
We believe that festivals deserve better tools and greater visibility. By creating a centralised directory, we aim to:
