I highly recommend this Masterclass! Feast Festival \nAffable and highly knowledgeable\, Paul Gudgin has condensed 30 years of festivals industry know-how into two days of intensive learning\, offering advice on anything from grassroots to strategic aspects of developing festivals\, across all areas.
