Brockleywood Nights - open air film night

How to put on an Event at Brockley Max

Brockley Max 2020 will kick off with an afternoon and evening of live music, singing and dance at our Opening Night down by Brockley station from 4pm to 10.30pm on Friday 29 May.

On Saturday 6 June between 12 – 6pm we gather on Hilly Fields for our Art In The Park family day featuring children’s art workshops, a live stage, a craft market, performances, food stalls and bars.

The rest of the events are up to you!

registration This year, we're giving priority booking for events if confirmed and paid (if required) by 29th Feb. Priority would mean guaranteed slot and date, 10% discount for paid events, and early publicity about your event. We want to work better with our venues & event organisers so that Brockley Max continues to raise its standards. We are also making the festival more bespoke, by having fewer events but which will achieve the following:

  • Greater potential for a larger audience at your event
  • More time to promote your event
  • Enable better scheduling of the programme to minimise clashes.

As long as it’s something that people in the area can enjoy – and there’s an element of art or creativity involved – you’re free to put on whatever you like. You just need to find a venue willing to host the event, agree a time and date, write a description and add all the details to an event application form. There’s a Venue Directory Here on our website.

If you have an idea, but need help finding a venue, collaborators, etc. please fill in this Expression of Interest Form. THIS IS NOW CLOSED. Please use the event form below.

Otherwise

  • Choose a venue from the Venue Directory (this is not exhaustive)
  • Contact the venue and agree a time and date
  • Write a description of your event including whether it’s suitable for children (and which age groups), the time, date and cost of attending.
  • Then go to the Brockley Max Event Registration Form and complete in full.

If you would like to apply to perform on stage at the Opening Night on 29 May or Art In The Park on 6 June, please use the form below.

If you haven't already, sign up to our Newsletter and be kept up to date on the festival.

Please note: filling out the expression of interest form does not confirm your event’s inclusion in the programme, however if it is accepted and you can finalise all details by the 29 February, we’ll prioritise your event for inclusion in the festival and you’ll receive early support in publicising your event in social media & print. If you are submitting an event after 29 February, please complete this Event Form. However, the final deadline for events is 30 March. We absolutely cannot accept any applications after that date.

Promotion

Assuming your event is accepted, we’ll include it in our festival programme and on the listings page of our website. If you’ve got  a photo of your event/band/artwork etc please attach it to your events form (labelled with event title & date of your event) so we can publicise your event. We’re on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Flickr and also send our regular email newsletters about Brockley Max events – so it’s well worth connecting with us on social media and tweeting about Brockley Max and your involvement in it.

Deadline

Some venues are likely to be putting on events of their own during Brockley Max, so it’s important that you get in touch with them as soon as possible to find out whether you can play or perform there. We’d like your ideas as soon as possible but the final deadline is 30 March.

In order to make development of ideas practical, please send us ideas and proposals as soon as possible.

While we do not currently have funding for this scheme, if there are costs involved that will prohibit you from developing your idea, please include this in your proposal and we may be able to cover small costs or assist you with fundraising.
