A special ‘How-To’ Workshop for DIY parties, gigs and festivals!
We’re putting Kat Dopper, Director of Heaps Gay, Jimmy Sherley of Strawberry Visions and a City of Wollongong Council rep in the same room to talk us through the red tape and ‘dos and don’ts’ of putting on events in your backyard or around the city.
If you want to put on your own parties, learn more about how to run legal parties and not get shut down by police, this is for you! You’ll also get a free template pack with useful event documents including budgets, risk assessments, and release forms to help you run an event like a pro.
This Sound Advice workshop is free with RSVP. Spaces are limited so get in quick!
Presented in partnership with City of Wollongong and the Creative Dialogues Program.
