Community Resource Exchange (CRE)’s Post

Warning: this is not a conference for the built environment. If you come to Pattern Festival 2024 expecting a standard industry experience, you won’t get one. We aim to entertain, inform, inspire and surprise you. Our placemaking event is a festival, not a conference. We’ve deliberately chosen to call it that. What makes it a festival? We’ve got a varied lineup of guest speakers, panellists and presenters, many of whom you wouldn’t normally associate with the built environment. We want to move the dial, celebrate grassroots activity and put progressive placemaking firmly on the agenda. Why don’t you join us? Pattern Festival 2024 is on 19 June, at x+why, Victoria Embankment, Manchester. Tickets are on sale now. Limited availability. www.patternfest.com

Adelaide Fringe 2024 was a massive season and it took herculean efforts from everyone to get through! Incredible numbers attended, just over 1 million ticket sold and 4.6 million attendances .. (if anyone has questions about the difference between those numbers please ask! It's quite simple, there's lots of ways to attend that doesn't involve a ticketed show) it was fantastic to see so many tourists come to Adelaide for Fringe 2024 - they bought huge numbers of tickets and spent big in local hotels and restaurants. in many ways a big triumph, but of course there is more to the story and one of the scariest elements is the fact that festival presentation costs have gone up by about 30% in the last year or so .. the ticket sales were up by around 4% (1,040,305) and the average ticket price remained the same around $33. So it doesn't take much to look at the sums and realise it is very tough to make it all balance. Lots of festivals have cancelled and closed down in recent months because of these rising costs in the supply chains. We are going to work harder than ever to try raise enough money to shore up the Fringe in future - Adelaide Fringe is a precious jewel of the nation and we need all the help we can get to survive this storm.

I was saddened to hear about the financial state of British arts festivals and worry the threat of some being ‘lost’ could impact Scotland negatively. A report by the British Arts Festivals Association entitled The Festivals Forward report found that last year, on average, there was a £20,000 funding gap across UK festivals. For an industry already dependant on grants, it’s a worrying trend, not least for Scottish institutions like the Edinburgh Fringe. Research and findings are all well and good, but only if they inspire action and allow for growth in our arts sector once again. Protecting our culture and inspiring future generations of creatives must always be high on our agenda as a nation.

I was really struggling to pick shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. With over 3,900 shows, the Fringe website’s alphabetical list can make it daunting. So I made a thing! 🎉 Introducing Fringe Show Explorer – a simple webapp that makes your Fringe experience smoother. It highlights shows that aren't sold out on your chosen day but are popular on other days. No more decision fatigue! If you're planning to go, give it a whirl 👇 https://lnkd.in/eQ5_KeED (Stay tuned for a blog on how I gathered the data and an in-depth analysis of Fringe show purchasing patterns. Happy exploring! 🎭)
