exclusive: festival strategic working partnership announcedEndorse-It In-Dorset and Bearded Theory formalise a working relationshipMonday 12th April 2010 eFestivals can exclusively reveal that Endorse-It In-Dorset Festival (Cranbourne Chase, Dorset) and Bearded Theory Festival (Ashbourne, Derbyshire) have today announced a Strategic Working Partnership.
The relationship encompasses a variety of areas including Infrastructure, Artist Bookings, Health & Safely, Licensing, Staffing and Promotion, and more. The partnership will strengthen both festivals by ensuring both benefit from each other's expertise and best practice. Despite their geographical differences, both Endorse It and Bearded Theory Festivals share a common 'traditional festival' ethos: eschewing corporate branding & sponsorship, supporting local industry wherever possible, donating profits to charity, creating a carefree and fun loving atmosphere whilst still maintaining a well run and professional event. The working relationships developed after Bearded Theory, booked The Boot Hill All Stars who, it later transpired, were fronted by one of Endorse-It's organisers. After making the connection over a pint of ale in the bar, it soon became apparent that they could help each other in various ways that traditionally are kept quiet by what are essentially competing events Over the time working together mutual support, advice & ideas have been shared between the two, making each event stronger bother as a partnership and in its own right.
Its not only the events themselves that benefit. Savings gained from the partnership can be passed onto ticket buyers, enabling the events to remain cost effective, whilst keeping excellent value for money. Endorse-It In-DorsetFriday 6th - Sunday 8th AugustNow in its 7th year, EiiD has gone from strength to strength from its humble beginnings in a barn in Dorset.

Set in the beautiful Cranborne Chase – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the festival has a true Westcountry rural feel. All the stages are under canvas (a nod to the 'reliable' British Weather) and EiiD is well known to be one of the friendliest festivals on the circuit.

Bearded Theory FestivalFriday 14 May until Sunday 16 MayBearded Theory returns in May 2010 for it's third year of action packed family-friendly fun in the heart of Derbyshire.
