rock, classical, comedy, poetry and inspirational talks. There will even be ‘Conversations around the campfire’. Conversations will take advantage of “breakout” streaming technologies. Conversations will be led by artists and spontaneously devised by festival attendees. “For the last 10 years our charity Festival Spirit has helped bring people to music festivals who otherwise would not be able to attend. We provide weekend accommodation in a beautiful tent and facilitate people attending by providing hospital profile beds, electric hoists and a range of other special equipment. We even heat the tent to keep us all cosy! People have a great time and make lots of new friends. March Madness was born out of the idea of recreating that special atmosphere, we call the festival spirit, we experience at each festival”. Steve, Trustee, Festival Spirit
ABOUT FESTIVAL SPIRIT
Festival Spirit is a charity providing the full festival experience to young people who would not normally be able to attend and enjoy such an event due to life-limiting illness or disability. We are passionate about helping people who never thought they could attend a festival safe in the knowledge that they will have the facilities, support and back up necessary for their condition. Our accommodation on site is an amazing specially adapted marquee with hard flooring, heating and electricity and close to disabled facilities such as showers and toilets. We provide 'buddies' to assist guests and their carers to get around the festival site and to make the most of the weekend event, see their favourite bands and acts and attend all the other exciting workshops and activities on offer.
