Description and Role

Aim

The Brighton & Hove Community Festivals Forum is a network of people, associated with local community groups & organisations, for sharing information and ideas to support the running of festivals (or other celebratory events) for the benefit of communities in Brighton & Hove.

Definition

A "Community Festival", for the purpose of this group, is defined an accessible and inclusive celebratory event organised for the benefit of members of a community. Such communities may be defined around by a geographical area (e.g. a neighbourhood) and/or a community of interest/identity (e.g. young people, women, a cultural/ethnic group or an activity).
