1.1 What is a festival?

The V Festival is a yearly music festival held in England during the second to last weekend in August. set up by Metropolis Music and SJM Concerts, the event is held at two parks at the same time which share the same bill; artists perform at one location on Saturday and then swap on Sunday. The sites are located at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex and Weston Park in South Staffordshire. Although predominantly a rock music festival, a wide range of musical genres are accepted; in recent years pop acts have become ever more common.

The End of the Pier International Film Festival is a no profit independent film festival based in west sussex. The festival began in 2002 and showed work by local film makers. It has since grown to showcase shorts and features from all over the world. There are also extensive educational and heritage projects surrounding the festival.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world’s largest arts festival. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the edinburgh international festival, it takes place in scotland's capital during three weeks every August alongside several other arts and cultural festivals, collectively known as the Edinburgh Festival, of which the Fringe is by far the largest.
