How Featured Listings Work
Featured listings give your festival enhanced visibility across Festival Calendar UK — appearing on our homepage, regional pages, and highlighted within date-based listings, depending on your chosen tier.
- Flexible by season: Adjust your visibility with Off-Peak, Growing, or Peak pricing.
- Scaled by festival size: Smaller events benefit from accessible rates, while larger festivals gain expanded reach.
- Simple structure: Choose a tier, confirm your dates, and we handle the upgrade.
The table below shows what’s included in each tier — and how visibility increases as you move up.
Steps to Get Featured
- Choose your tier and timing. You can adjust seasonally, for example: start with Tier 3 in winter, then upgrade to Tier 1 in the run-up to your event for maximum exposure.
- Submit your application. Complete the form to confirm availability and pricing.

Real Visibility, Proven Reach
Festival Calendar UK attracts a consistently engaged audience of festival-goers who return throughout the year to plan what to attend next. Activity peaks in the summer months, but the early-year “Growing” period (January to April) is increasingly strong as people begin researching and booking their festival season.
Featuring your festival during these periods places your event in front of people who are actively researching where to go next — not casual browsers, but committed planners.

A Meaningful Measure of Engagement
An “active user” represents a genuinely engaged visitor. Google Analytics counts someone as active only after they spend more than 10 seconds on the site, view multiple pages, or meaningfully interact with content. This ensures our numbers reflect real people who are researching festivals, comparing dates, and deciding where to go next.
The Ripple Effect of Being Featured
Featuring a festival on Festival Calendar UK creates a measurable ripple effect. Beyond increased visibility on the site itself, a feature can also strengthen a festival’s presence across search engines. For example, when we featured the Teddy Rocks festival (during the off-peak period), its page received a 70 percent increase in page views in a single week. Much of this uplift came from a rise in Google search traffic — a sign that our platform can meaningfully enhance a festival’s wider online visibility.
Festival pages commonly experience increased page views, unique visitors, and time spent on page during their featured period. While results vary, these trends help organisers understand the value of increased exposure at key moments in the festival calendar.
