Things are heating up in the world of festivals and we are delighted to announce the first of our festival dates, locations and hosts for 2022-2023. A huge thanks go out to schools who have offered to host an event and get our face to face festival experiences back on the roster – where they belong!

We anticipate this list opening up even further in the upcoming months.

When do festival bookings open?

Bookings open SEPTEMBER 2022.

For Members – booking opens on 1st September.

For Non-members – booking opens 20th September.

As most of the events are smaller sized events we are putting a few limits on the booking process to ensure as members as possible get a chance to attend. Please note: 

– Initial bookings will be limited to 10 students per organisation

– Initial bookings will be limited to one festival per organisation for 2022-2023.

– Waiting lists will be created when an event sells out initially and if/when spaces open up after registration, organisations on the waiting list will be notified.

– Requests for advance booking or early reservation of places can not be accommodated.

We want more festivals!

We would love more festivals to bring our members together too! If you would like to host a festival either at your school or on a site nearby, please reach out to Vicki vicki@ista.co.uk and set up a time to chat about festival hosting options.
