Festival Apps

For organisers, traders, contributors and visitors

Festival Apps

Less Faff. Better Outdoor Events.

Build Your Own Event App. Without Building an App.

Every festival, fête, carnival and county show deserves a proper app — maps that work, information that is current, food that is easy to find and toilets you would actually use. Festival Apps gives you all of it on one connected platform, without commissioning bespoke development, without a build budget and without waiting a season for it.

The platform

One Platform. Five Connected Apps.

Five apps, one login, one set of event data. Claim your event once and it appears across all of them — the map, the community, the food, the facilities and the organiser controls all talking to each other instead of sitting in five separate silos.

Genie

The organiser's app

Your event control centre. List your stages, publish running orders, post live bulletins and manage capacity, traders and facilities from one place — then push it all straight to everyone on site.

  • Stage listings and running orders
  • Live news bulletins and safety notices
  • Capacity, trader and facility management

Festival Mapp App

The event map

An interactive map built for a field, not a high street. Stages, entrances, bars, welfare, traders, toilets and camping — all pinned, all searchable, all updated the moment something moves.

  • Live interactive site map
  • Search by stage, trader or facility
  • Works when the signal does not

Festie Bestie

The community app

Every event gets its own chat room the moment it is listed. Join the buzz before you arrive, find your people on site, and stay connected with the wider festival community all year round.

  • Auto-generated room for every event
  • Private rooms for your own group
  • Global feed across all events

Find Your Festival People

Festie Foodie

The food and trader app

Map your hunger. Every food stall on site with its menu, prices and photos, listed by the traders themselves and updated as they move between events through the season.

  • Traders list their own outlets
  • Menus, pricing and photos
  • Locations update event to event

Find the Good Stuff

CrapAdviser

The facilities app

The honest guide to event toilets. Crowdsourced ratings show you where the clean ones are, while organisers and suppliers get the reporting they need to keep them that way.

  • Real-time crowdsourced ratings
  • Reporting tools for suppliers
  • Escalation when a block needs attention

Technology That Gets Out of the Way

Nobody running an event has time to learn software. Genie is built to be picked up at 8am on build day by somebody who has never seen it before — and to keep working when the signal drops, the rain starts and half the team is on radios.

  • No development, no build budget You are not commissioning an app. You claim your event, fill in what you have and it goes live across the platform.
  • The same buttons in the same places Every app in the suite shares one interface language, so what you learn in one carries straight into the rest.
  • Update once, everywhere Change a stage time in Genie and it lands on the map, in the chat and on every phone on site — without republishing anything.

The community does the heavy lifting

Feed It. Improve It. Grow It.

The platform gets better every time somebody uses it. A trader adds their stall, a visitor rates a toilet block, a regular uploads a photo of the site entrance — and the next person through the gate gets a better event because of it.

  • Feed it Anyone can add what they know — stalls, facilities, photos, corrections. Contributions go live where they are useful, not into a form nobody reads.
  • Improve it Ratings and reviews push the good traders and the clean facilities to the top, and give organisers honest feedback from the festival floor.
  • Grow it Every event that joins makes the network more useful for the next one. This is written by festival people, for festival people.

What people have said so far

★★★★★
It's really cool so far, the app is pretty intuitive. The food app and toilet app were awesome again — super impressive amount of work so far.

★★★★★
Looks good — I'll have a proper browse. I know a few younger festivals on the up, so I'll share it with them too if that's ok.

Not just festivals

Built for Outdoor Events Everywhere

If it happens in a field, a park, a showground or a closed-off high street, it works here. The same five apps run a 40,000-capacity weekender and a village fête on the green.

Music festivals Multi-stage, multi-day, camping and arena events.
Village fêtes Small committees, volunteer teams, one afternoon.
Carnivals and parades Route maps, road closures and running orders.
County and agricultural shows Large showgrounds with hundreds of trade stands.
Food festivals Trader-heavy events where the food is the draw.
Christmas markets Seasonal runs across weeks rather than days.
Outdoor concerts Single-night events in parks and grounds.
Sporting and community days Fun runs, game fairs, steam rallies and open days.

Four audiences, one platform
