Virtual Festivals To Tune Into

With all large-scale events banned until further notice, festival season is going to look a little different this year. We sadly won’t be enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of our favourite summer fiestas – but we can still have a taste of the action by tuning into one of the virtual festivals taking place. Read on for some of the best, spanning the worlds of music, food, literature and theatre.  

Henley Festival

Will Young, Beverley Knight and Rory Bremner are all set to perform at Henley’s digital concert, taking place on what would have been the final day of the much-loved glamorous festival. The two-hour evening event will be streamed live from the Hurley House Hotel, with all ticket sales helping allow the not-for-profit festival to continue in 2021.

When? 12 July 2020, 7.30-9.30pm

Cockpit Festival of Making

James Winspear

Over the past few months crafts have come under the spotlight, with more and more of us turning to hands-on hobbies to unleash our creativity and curb lockdown boredom. This is being celebrated at Cockpit Arts’ first Festival of Making, featuring 65 events with over 80 makers – from ceramicists to leatherworkers, jewellers to printmakers. There’ll be discussions on topics such as wellbeing, creativity, unconventional career journeys and more, alongside workshops, live demonstrations and behind-the-scenes studio tours. Nine makers will also be taking on The Big Make challenge, which involves creating a complete object from start to finish over the course of the festival weekend.

When? 19 – 21 June 2020

Themed around wellbeing and inspired by Fearne’s chart-topping podcast, the free festival will be hosted by inspirational figures across the worlds of TV, radio, music, sport and wellness. From music to meditation to storytelling to craft workshops, everything is designed to promote serenity, calm and escapism during these unsettling times. All content is free, though there are opportunities to make donations too, with all money raised going towards Mind, The Prince’s Trust, CoppaFeel and NHS Charities Together.

Bristol Takeover Part 2

Following the success of the first event in May, Colston Hall’s Bristol Takeover is back with a second instalment of its online music festival. Introduced as a way of supporting Bristol’s eclectic live music scene, the concert will once again feature a series of sets live streamed from artists’ homes or studios. It’s free to watch, but organisers are asking viewers to donate what they might normally spend on a gig ticket via the Crowdfunder page. Half of the donations will go towards supporting participating artists, the other half to supporting Bristol music venues in collaboration with Music Venue Trust’s Save Our Venues campaign.

When? 20 June 2020

The virtual events taking place span the worlds of fashion, food, beauty and fitness, with a whole host of Q&As, Instagram tutorials and cook-along sessions to tune into. Fred Perry will champion its ongoing collaboration with the Amy Winehouse Foundation through a Q&A with one of the charity’s founders, Jane Whitehouse, while founder of MOSCOT, Dr Harvey Moscot, will be giving advice on how to maintain eye health while working from home.

My VLF

Free global virtual literary festival venue My VLF was launched in April 2019, well before coronavirus came into our lives. It was born out of a love of books, and the desire to connect readers and authors without the need to travel or spend money attending a literary event. Now, of course, it’s more relevant than ever. Events take place frequently throughout the year: June is all about the Historical Book Festival, with a line-up including Kate Mosse, Ellen Alpsten and Victoria Hislop.

When: Available to watch on the website now

How: Sign up to My VLF for free, and you’ll have access to all events via myvlf.com
