The promoter is FestivalFocus (festivalfocus.uk), a trading name of Cogniosynthesis Portal Ltd, company number 16225073, registered office 4 Llys Idwal, Lampeter, SA48 7BX, contact hello@festivalfocus.uk.

2. Entry window

The promotion opens at 00:01 BST on 1 August 2026 and closes at 23:59 BST on 30 September 2026. Entries submitted outside this window will not be entered into the draw.

3. Eligibility

  • Entrants must be legal residents of the United Kingdom.
  • Entrants must be 18 years of age or older.
  • FestivalFocus employees, immediate family, and anyone professionally connected with this promotion are not eligible to enter.
  • Each festival's own age requirements apply to the prize. Where any of the selected festivals is 18+ only, the entire promotion is open to 18+ entrants only.

4. How to enter

To enter the draw, an entrant must:

  1. Submit a written review of a UK festival they attended in 2026, via the official entry form at festivalfocus.uk/giveaway.
  2. Upload proof of purchase of a 2026 ticket to that festival (e-ticket screenshot, PDF or photo of physical ticket, or booking confirmation from the festival's official ticket provider).
  3. Rank-preference five festival categories from the predefined 25-category grid (5 size buckets — under 5k, 5–25k, 25–75k, 75–150k, 150k+ — × 5 genres — rock/indie, electronic, pop, multi-genre, family), to guide FestivalFocus's selection of the 2027 festival assigned to the winner.

Each review is moderated before publication. Entries are not entered into the draw until moderation is complete and the entry is accepted.

5. Travel proof

Travel proof is not required at entry. If an entrant's entry is drawn, FestivalFocus will request travel proof (e.g., a booking confirmation or coach/train ticket covering the festival dates) as a condition of prize claim. Travel proof is retained only for drawn winners and is deleted within 30 days if the prize is not claimed.

6. Entry limit

Each entrant may submit up to three (3) entries. Entries are identified by the combination of email address, full name, date of birth, and IP address. Entries exceeding the cap will be voided. Multiple entries from the same individual under different identifiers are a breach of these T&Cs and may result in disqualification.

7. Moderation

All reviews are pre-moderated before publication. Moderation criteria: the review must be genuine, relevant to the festival named, original, free of personal data about third parties, not defamatory, not abusive, not obscene, and not in breach of any third-party rights.

  • Moderation turnaround: typically within 7 days of submission.
  • FestivalFocus will notify the entrant by email if the entry is rejected, with the reason and an appeal route.
  • Rejected entries are deleted within 30 days of rejection.

8. The prize

There are five (5) prizes. Each prize is one pair of adult tickets (general admission or weekend, as standard for the selected festival) to one UK music festival in 2027.

There is no budget cap on the prize. FestivalFocus will select five eligible UK festivals in April 2027 and purchase a pair of tickets to each. Selected festivals will be announced on the promotion page at festivalfocus.uk/giveaway on or after the date each festival is confirmed.

The prize does not include travel, accommodation, food, drink, spending money, or any other cost. The prize is non-transferable and non-exchangeable, save for the festival-cancellation provisions in section 10.

9. Festival selection

Selection runs in two stages:

  1. Category rank-preference (at entry). Each entrant ranks five festival categories. Categories combine size and genre.
  2. Festival selection (April 2027). FestivalFocus selects five UK festivals from the published 2027 festival calendar that match the categories entered by the winners.

Each of the five winners is assigned to one of the five selected festivals based on their rank-preference. Where a winner's rank-preferences cannot be matched to a selected festival, FestivalFocus will assign the closest fit by category and notify the winner in writing. The winner may decline the assigned festival and receive no prize. The assigned festival is final once accepted; FestivalFocus does not offer substitution for clashes with the winner's personal calendar.

10. Festival cancellation

If a selected festival is cancelled, postponed, or materially altered before the event date, FestivalFocus will, at its discretion:

  1. substitute an alternative UK festival of equivalent standing in 2027, or
  2. re-run the draw for the affected prize.

FestivalFocus is not the festival operator and accepts no liability for festival cancellation, postponement, or alteration once the prize has been delivered to the winner.

11. Winner notification and claim

Winners will be selected by random draw within 14 days of the close date (30 September 2026). Winners will be notified by email to the address provided at entry. Winners must respond to claim the prize within 14 days of notification (the "backup period").

If a winner does not respond within the backup period, the prize is forfeited and FestivalFocus may redraw or roll the prize over at its discretion.

12. Publicity

By entering, the entrant agrees that FestivalFocus may publish their first name and county of residence on the promotion page and on social media in connection with the promotion. This is a permitted use and is not a separate marketing consent.

13. Marketing

The promotion entry form includes a separate, optional opt-in for FestivalFocus marketing emails. Opting in is not a condition of entry. FestivalFocus will not send marketing emails to entrants who have not opted in.
