Yardshare: Starting, Sustaining and Funding Your Own Club Night

27 Apr - 27 Apr 2021

After a year without parties, this session aims to give you a first hand insight into the range of ways you can start and sustain your club night. Learn from INFERNO founder Lewis G. Burton as they guide you through their step by step advice on throwing a party. And hear from Aakash Bharania, from Arts Council England and sober club night Misery Party, on how to get your night funded. The Yard’s Music & Events Producer Anjali Prashar-Savoie will also give an insight  from the perspective of a programmer and discuss how best to approach venues with your ideas. 

This session will end in an open conversation for nightlife workers to come together to share knowledge and talk about how to navigate nightlife as the industry moves towards reopening.

This session is limited to 60 people

All sessions will be on Zoom and captioned using Otter.Ai.
