UK Festival Repair - 2026 planner

How to repair in your community
1

Hi all, @Clare_Seek and I are getting questions from people who are keen to organise a repair at a festival (see this topic and this podcast), which is wonderful and good fun! :grin: We are working on a playbook, but in the meantime, I thought it might be wise to indicate who is going where, or who contacted which festival - to avoid overlaps and crossed wires

Are you in touch with a festival? Edit this post and add it to the list below. :writing_hand:

This is a great idea! :heart:
A minor technical note: it’s possible to make a post a ‘Wiki’ post, allowing anyone to edit it. Would you like me to do this for your first post @Frank ?

Yes, that would definitely make it easier, thank you, James!
