Performer Accommodation - Brass Festival 2025

Tender description

Durham BRASS Festival is an annual festival of brass-inspired music that takes place across County Durham during July each year. It is part of the Council's NPO portfolio supported by Arts Council England, and financial support is secured for the festival in 2025 Musicians from all over the world come to Durham to take part in the festival, performing in schools, community venues, theatres, on the streets and in the parks across the county over a ten-day period. As part of the contractual agreements with the bands there is a requirement to provide accommodation including breakfast for the duration of the festival. Having the musicians (averaging from 70 to 100 individuals which is dependent on the size of the bands we commission) accommodated in one place is essential to the smooth logistical transport and catering operation that are required for the festival. E.g. having 8 to 10 busses at one pick up point at the same times across the week of the festival.
