About Festival Spirit |
About the studio |
|
Festival Spirit is a charity providing the full festival experience to 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 bands and attend all the other exciting workshops and activities on offer. |
March Madness will be live streamed from New River Studios in London and from a number of other venues across the globe.
New River Studios is an arts’ centre, studio provider, venue, education hub, cafe and bar, with a large and diverse range of users. Housed in a converted furniture warehouse in Manor House, North London, New River Studios offers a broad range of facilities which can be easily accessed by the local community, and it hosts a variety of events including gigs, exhibitions, workshops, pop-ups and educational programs. |
