We want the impact of the Festival to be far reaching, to ensure that similar experiences can be shared by a wider community.

Each of our ‘Paying it Forward’ partners will fund 2 x tickets for individuals wanting to enter any area of the hospitality industry to attend the entire Festival. 

Partners will also contribute to MYStorySLAM, a showcase to share, inspire and encourage the next generation into the industry. 

Tickets will be prioritised to harder to reach groups from non-traditional backgrounds, people returning to careers and the unemployed. Offering a seat at the table and opening up access to the varied pathways into the hospitality sector – from design and construction to operations and F&B. 

If you are interested in learning more, either about becoming a Paying it Forward partner or attending the Festival through the Paying it Forward scheme, please get in touch here.
