The Fair’s work to gather support for the industry has been celebrated by the UK’s biggest event discovery platform, Skiddle.
Posting on their platform, Skiddle said: “Have you watched ‘s documentary, “It Takes a Village”?
“The insightful mini-documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges involved in organising festivals and follows The Fair’s on-site team at various UK festivals during the summer of 2023.
“Coinciding with the documentary, the award-winning event production agency has also recently launched its “Your Festival Needs You” campaign.
“The campaign aims to highlight the value festivals bring to communities, economies, and cultural landscapes. It underscores the need for collective action and support from event professionals, attendees, local authorities, and the general public to secure the future of festivals across Britain.
“To read more about the campaign and how you can get involved, and to watch the documentary in full, head to the link in the comments.”

The Fair launched the campaign, #YOURFESTIVALNEEDSYOU, to celebrate independent festivals in a bid to gather vital support. Exponential supply costs and a lack of government support are forcing many independent festivals to postpone or cancel.
We need people to recognise the value of grassroots and independents for people, places, businesses and society – and the consequences of losing these venues and events. We urge everybody to get involved with the campaign – taking advantage of early bird tickets, sharing their own love for festivals with a video and continuing to support everything festivals provide.
