Online contributor surgeries
If you’re one of the individuals, groups, collectives or organisations planning to open up a building or run an event during the festival, then you are an Open House Festival contributor. Thank you! The festival would not be possible without you.
From April to June, we will hold a series of online surgeries to support you with planning and running your festival open days and events. Some surgeries will be open to all, and recordings of these sessions will be posted on this page afterwards. Others will only be open to those who have applied to take part in the festival.
The surgeries will be held on Zoom and the link will be shared with everyone who has registered to attend in advance of the session.
In addition to the surgeries, we have written guidance on completing your expression of interest (if this is your first festival) and application forms, and on planning and running your open day or event.
