Story x Story #234: Gathering For the Fun of It (Events)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii sit down with Martha Julian from Thought Bubble and Abi Wright from Festival of the Girl, two event organisers running national events at large scale. We explore what drives them to create these community spaces and the impact events can have on attendees across creative interests. From the logistics of planning and the realities of funding to the challenges of sustaining events year after year, we delve into what it takes to keep going in an increasingly digital age. This is a must listen for event organisers and packed with valuable insights and practical advice for those looking to understand the dedication behind the events they love.Connect with Martha online:Website: https://thoughtbubblefestival.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thoughtbubblefestivalTwitter: https://x.com/ThoughtBubbleUKBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.socialConnect with Abi online:Website: https://www.festivalofthegirl.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/festivalofthegirl
