Client Goals

Festival of Thrift is an annual eco-friendly event celebrating sustainable living and creativity, drawing visitors from all over the UK each September. For the past seven years, Brainbox Studios has been the digital partner for the festival, managing, securing and developing its website. Our mission was to create a visually captivating and highly functional platform that not only promotes the festival but also serves as a hub for year-round events and workshops.

GOAL 1

A visually appealing, eco-conscious website that runs on 100% green hosting.

GOAL 2

A year-round platform for hosting events, workshops, and content related to sustainable living.

GOAL 3

An efficient way for traders to apply and pay for stall space, plus an e-commerce solution for purchasing festival parking.

Our Solution

We designed and developed a feature-rich website that meets the needs of both the festival organizers and its community. Key aspects of our approach included:

Eco-Conscious Hosting

In line with the festival’s sustainability ethos, we ensured that the website runs on 100% green hosting, reducing its environmental footprint while providing reliable performance.

Year-Round Platform

The website is more than just a once-a-year tool; it hosts information about ongoing events, workshops, and sustainable initiatives, making it a go-to resource for the festival's community all year long.

Custom Trader Application

We built a custom application system that allows stallholders to easily apply for space, pay online, and manage their involvement. This streamlined process saves time for both traders and festival staff.

E-commerce Functionality

To enhance visitor convenience, we integrated an e-commerce solution for purchasing parking passes for the festival weekend, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.

Key Outcomes

A robust and visually engaging website that reflects the festival’s creative and eco-friendly spirit.

An efficient, easy-to-use platform for traders and visitors, simplifying application and payment processes.

A thriving digital presence that supports year-round engagement with sustainable living content and events.
