Phone booking is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 8pm, and daily during the festival. Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company’s access charge.
WAF artists can use these frames on images you share on Instagram or Facebook to promote events that are part of the festival (these can be layered over the top of your images in Photoshop, its free online version, or any similar software).
Facebook can be a great way to get to a local audience, and can be a successful platform for ticket sales, especially with families and older audiences.
Twitter is a great place to let other businesses know what you're up to and share regular updates. Make sure to support your fellow WAF participants and retweet their events!
Where possible insert a picture and a link (e.g. to your listing, ticketing site or your own website - shorten the url*)
* Make the most of the twitter character limit by shortening your links using a url converter e.g. https://bitly.com/
