Festivals toolkit
Welcome to the Festival Toolkit for Derbyshire. These pages provide advice and guidance
on how to manage, sustain and develop arts festivals in Derbyshire and Derby City.
The toolkit covers all stages of festival
management from developing the initial concept through to the evaluation.
It's stuffed full of advice and information, tips and guidance. There are lots of
resources contained in the Toolkit, including downloads, contacts, grass roots advice and examples
of good practice. We talked to a number of festival organisers whilst creating this
Toolkit to find out what would be most useful.
So whether you need help with marketing, ticketing, health & safety, or even your
constitution, you will find something in the Toolkit that will be of interest to you.
You can browse the Toolkit's sections using the links list below.
