Pop-Up on the Pier Workshop Facilitator Call Out

Pop-Up on the Pier Workshop Facilitator Call Out

We are looking for workshop facilitators for a special pop-up event taking place on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th August on Gravesend Town Pier.

The theme of the event is the Great British Holiday and will include an exhibition and activities based around the history of the seaside resort holiday and summer holiday camps from the 1930s-1990s, day trips in the Victorian era, and the resurgence of the popularity of the staycation in the early 2020s.

We are inviting creatives to submit proposals for art/craft workshops which reflect the theme mentioned above. Think postcards, beach balls, ice creams, deck chairs, vintage travel posters, end of pier entertainment etc… as an idea.

Workshops can be for children, adults or the whole family. Please let us know in your proposal who it is suitable for.

Workshops should last 1.5 hours for a maximum of 10 participants.

The facilitator will be responsible for arriving in time to set up, and clear/tidy away afterwards.

Fee

The fee for individual workshops is £85 plus materials. The budget for the materials must be agreed in advance and we therefore request that you include this in your workshop proposal along with a list of required materials.

Please note, we do not pay extra for travel or parking costs etc.

Insurance/Documentation

To be able to facilitate a workshop for us, you will need to have public liability insurance to cover the activity, and we will request a copy of your documentation. Please ensure that your insurance covers the date of the workshop.

We will also require you to carry out a risk assessment to be submitted prior to the workshop.

DBS certification is preferred and, we would like to know if you do have one or not.

Please do not send your proposals to individual members of staff.

Selection

After the deadline closes, proposals will go before a panel to be considered.

If you are successful, you will be sent a contract and we will request a non-copyright image of the craft and accompanying text asap for marketing purposes. Please note images must be a minimum of 2mb.
