EPAD Co-working day – Wednesday 14th November
If you usually work alone, or could do with a change of scene, then come and work in the company of others at the Festival Theatre. We provide lunch, and refreshments throughout the day. You bring your laptop, a funding application, some admin or maybe that piece of work you have been putting off… You can find out more and book a place here.
Advice on setting up a company
Constitute: What is the best status for my company?
We get many requests for advice about whether or not an artist or project should set up as a company, and if so – which option to chose. We’ve been working on putting together a training seminar to address this question, and are delighted to have partnered with the Cultural Enterprise Office to run an afternoon session which will talk through your options and give you a chance to hear how these work for people in your situation. You can find out more and book a place here.
