Website design for a community music festival: Reepham Festival

We designed and built the website for Reepham Festival CIC, the community interest company behind RFestival, a two-day music festival in Reepham, Norfolk, putting tickets and dates at the front.

The brief

A festival website has one job for most of the year, which is to get people to buy tickets, and a different one during the event: telling them where to go. It also has to be refreshed every year with new dates, line-up and sponsors, without becoming a new project each time.

As a community interest company, Reepham Festival also carries a local story that the site has to tell.

Our approach

The homepage opens on the festival itself: a photograph of the crowd, a brush-stroke banner carrying the logo, the current edition and its dates (RFestival 27, 14th and 15th August 2027) and a Tickets button that stays in reach. The bold, hand-painted look keeps the site feeling like a festival rather than a venue.

Because the edition, dates and imagery change each year, the design is arranged so those elements can be swapped by the organisers rather than needing a redesign.

“Tickets first. Everything else a tap away.”
