Featured Listings Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions govern the submission and inclusion of paid featured listings on Festival Calendar UK ("we", "our", "the site"). By submitting an application or paying for a featured placement, you agree to the following terms.
Eligibility
Festival Calendar UK reserves the right to approve or decline any featured listing application at our discretion. Featured festivals must be active, legitimate events with either a proven track record or credible new plans in place. Applications may be declined if key public-facing information is missing—such as an official website, ticketing details, or social media presence—or if there are reasonable concerns about the event's viability.
Editorial Discretion
All featured listings are created and edited by our in-house editorial team. While we welcome suggested information from organisers, we retain full discretion over all listing content to ensure consistency, clarity, and uniqueness across the platform. We do not publish content that is duplicated from other websites or promotional materials.
Pricing & Payments
Featured listing pricing varies by tier (Premium, Standard, Basic), the size of the festival (Small, Medium, Large), and the month in which visibility is requested. All pricing is clearly outlined prior to invoicing or payment. See How It Works section for details.
Seasonal pricing follows three clear periods: Off-Peak (Sept–Dec), Growing (Jan–Apr), and Peak (May–Aug).
Festival Calendar UK is not currently VAT-registered, so no VAT will be added to invoices.
Refunds
All featured listing payments are non-refundable unless required by law. Exceptions may be made at our discretion in the event of technical failure or if we are unable to fulfil the listing as agreed.
Placement Limitations
Homepage and category carousel placements are subject to availability. For Tier 1 listings, only five festivals may appear in the homepage carousel at any one time. Timing of placement is based on availability and the date of confirmed booking.
Duration of Listings
Featured listings are live for the agreed duration, typically based in weeks (7 days). The start date and length of listing will be clearly communicated and confirmed at the time of booking.
When a Featured Listing period comes to an end, the listing simply reverts to a standard listing within the regular festival calendar and remains publicly visible unless removal is requested.
Amendments & Communication
You may request small updates to your listing during the featured period (e.g. change to a link or call-to-action). Substantial edits or new content requests may be subject to editorial approval or additional fees.
Contact
For any questions about these Terms & Conditions or to enquire about a featured listing, please email support@festivalcalendar.uk.
Governing Law
These terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
Terms for Regular Festival Listings
Festival Calendar UK includes free listings of festivals at its editorial discretion. These listings are added to support festival-goers and provide comprehensive coverage of events across the UK.
Content Accuracy
We strive to ensure the accuracy of each listing, but details such as event dates, locations, and ticket links may change. We encourage festivals to contact us with updates or corrections at support@festivalcalendar.uk.
Right to Remove or Edit Listings
We reserve the right to remove or modify listings at any time, without notice. Festivals may also request removal by contacting support@festivalcalendar.uk.
We may remove listings that are found to contain inaccurate or misleading information, or where event legitimacy cannot be verified.
Publicly Available Information
Non-featured listings are created using publicly accessible information from official festival websites, ticket platforms, and social media. If you believe your event is misrepresented or you would like your listing amended or removed, please get in touch.
Get Listed Form
By submitting a festival through our Get Listed form, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy.
Submissions may be subject to verification checks before publication to ensure accuracy and authenticity.
Image & Media Usage
We may use publicly available media assets such as logos, photographs, videos, and promotional artwork to illustrate festival listings on Festival Calendar UK. These are used solely for informational and promotional purposes related to the event itself.
Images and videos are typically sourced from official festival websites or social media channels under fair use for editorial purposes. We do not sell, license, or redistribute these assets to third parties.
If you are a rights holder and wish to request removal or amendment of an image or video, please contact support@festivalcalendar.uk and we will respond promptly.
Affiliate Shop & Product Listings
The Festival Calendar UK shop includes curated product recommendations that link to third-party websites such as Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Product Information & Prices
While we strive to keep product descriptions and prices accurate, they may change without notice. Please check the retailer's website for the latest information before purchasing.
Editorial Integrity
All products featured in the shop are selected independently based on their relevance to festival-goers. Our write-ups are original and reflect our own views—we do not accept payment for product placement.
