Line-up flyers, festival programmes, folded site maps and resident letters
Festivals print in two waves: months ahead, A5 and A6 line-up flyers on 130gsm to 170gsm gloss that sell tickets, and in the final weeks, a stapled A5 programme or a folded site map and timetable that people carry round the field. This page covers both waves, today's prices, sample layouts, wording, the print timeline and the price-display points for tickets.
Music, food, beer, literary, folk and community festivals all print much the same set of things, in the same order through the year. These are the jobs we see most.
The headliners, dates, site and the ticket link. Printed when the line-up drops and handed out at gigs, record shops, bars and other festivals the summer before, they keep your name in front of people who buy early.
A stapled A5 booklet with every act and stage time, the site map, food and bar list, the rules and the welfare information. People buy or pick one up at the gate and keep it afterwards, which makes it valuable sponsor space.
For festivals that do not print a full programme, an A4 or A3 sheet folded to pocket size with the map on one side and the clash-finder timetable on the other is the most useful thing a visitor carries.
Road closures, parking restrictions, noise times, a hotline number and sometimes free tickets for neighbours. Delivering a clear leaflet to every home near the site before the event builds goodwill and is often a condition of the licence or a promise to the council.
Applications for food traders and stallholders, calls for volunteers and stewards, and sponsor packages with audience numbers you can stand behind. Short booklets or folded leaflets do these well.
Waterproof site maps for stewards, security and first aid points that survive rain, mud and a back pocket for four days.
Taxi firms, pubs and takeaways near the site often pay to be in the programme or on the back of the map; it is a simple way to cover part of the print cost.
What we would print for a festival. The 'from' price is today's live price for the lowest-cost options; the example line is a configuration festivals often order.
A6 or A5, 130gsm to 170gsm gloss, both sides
A6 for handing out in volume at gigs and other festivals; A5 for shops, bars and noticeboards. Gloss keeps the poster artwork bright.

from £39.847 working days on Saver
5,000 A3 maps cross-folded to A5, 130gsm silk: £584.09

100 A4 waterproof maps, both sides: £159.94
Choose size and paperA4, 120gsm smooth white uncoated, both sides
A letter-style leaflet to every home near the site. Plain uncoated paper reads as information rather than advertising, which is the right tone for road closures and noise times.

Lines for festival flyers, programmes and letters. Put in your own acts, dates and prices.
Festival print runs to a calendar: tickets are sold for months, but the on-site print is decided in the last fortnight.
For a summer festival: announcement flyers from November to March, the ticket push through spring, and programmes and maps in the weeks before the gates open.
Line-up flyers when the first acts are announced, with a reprint for each big announcement. Resident letters three weeks out. Programmes and maps as soon as stage times are fixed, allowing the Saver working days shown on the product page plus delivery.
Do not leave programmes to the last week: a late act change can go on a notice board, but a missing programme cannot be fixed.
A6 handouts: several thousand per month of active promotion. Programmes: plan on one for every second or third ticket holder if you sell them, more if they are free. Folded maps: one per visitor who will not get a programme. Resident letters: one per address on the affected roads.
Other festivals and gigs in the season before, record shops, bars, cafes, libraries and tourist information, student unions, local businesses near the site, and the box office. Programmes at the gate and info points; maps at every entrance.
Flyers rarely sell a ticket on the day they are handed out; they remind people who have seen the line-up online. Track with a code or a separate QR link per batch. Resident letters are not measured in sales but in calls to the council, and a good letter keeps those down.
Light paper for volume, a card cover for the programme, and synthetic for anything that lives outdoors all weekend.
| Job | Size | Paper | Finish | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Handout line-up flyer | A6 | 130gsm gloss | None | Lowest cost per thousand, bright artwork, pocket size. |
| Shop and noticeboard flyer | A5 | 170gsm gloss | None | Sturdier for display; room for the full line-up. |
| Programme | A5 booklet | 130gsm silk, 250gsm cover | Stapled | Pocket size, light, cover survives the weekend. |
| Visitor site map | A3 cross-folded to A5 | 130gsm silk | Cross fold | Big map, small fold; silk takes a pen for marking acts. |
| Steward map | A4 | Waterproof synthetic | Wipe-clean | Survives rain and mud for the whole event. |
| Resident letter | A4 | 120gsm smooth white | None | Reads as information, not advertising. |
Timetables are often read at dusk and by torchlight: keep stage times at 8pt or larger, bold, in dark ink on a light panel even if the rest of the design is dark.
A6 (105 × 148 mm) for handing out in volume at gigs, other festivals and in the street, and A5 for shops, bars and noticeboards where there is room for the full line-up. Both are usually printed on gloss to keep poster artwork bright.
Most small and mid-size festivals fit stage times, a site map, food and bar listings, welfare and rules, and a few sponsor pages into 16 to 32 A5 pages. Pages must be in multiples of four for a stapled booklet.
As soon as stage times are fixed, allowing the Saver working days shown on the product page plus delivery. Aim to have them on site several days before the gates open. Late changes are better on an information board than in a rushed reprint.
Yes. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, advertised prices must include unavoidable fees such as booking fees. Optional extras such as parking or camping upgrades can be listed separately, with their prices.
The dates, music times each day, road closures and parking changes, how residents can get in and out, a hotline that is answered during the event, clean-up plans and any offer for neighbours with exactly how to claim it.
130gsm silk for visitor maps (light, foldable, easy to write on) and waterproof synthetic for stewards and crew, who need a map that survives rain and mud for the whole weekend.
Yes. Send your line-up, stage times, map and sponsor artwork through our Artwork and Design Service. Every upload is checked automatically for size, bleed and resolution; add File check (£4.99) if you want a person to look the file over.
