UKCF & Creative Circle 2024 Tickets are on Sale with Early-Bird Discount

Mar. 06, 2024

Tickets to the UK Creative Festival (UKCF) and Creative Circle Awards have gone on sale. This year’s event is set to be bigger and better than ever - and there are a limited number of early bird tickets offering a 20% discount on all tickets to the festival, and a 10% discount to the awards show available now. 

The UKCF will return to Dreamland, Margate, on the 10th-11th July 2024, bringing the UK creative community together for two days of networking, inspirational talks and beachside fun, backed by headline sponsors Brand Advance Group and supported by Global Media and ERIC. Headline speakers for this year’s event are due to be announced, previous guests have included the likes of Simon Pegg, Tracey Emin, RANKIN, Henry Holland, Ben Bailey Smith and Trevor Robinson. 

A hub for UK creativity, the UKCF also hosts the Creative Careers Fair. Led by the Creative Foundation, it is the only careers fair in the country that is solely focused on the creative industries and has so far welcomed over 2000+ students in the past three years. The fair provides opportunities and guidance to the next generation of young talent, helping to build pathways and connections into fields that inspire them and breaking barriers that hinder accessibility to the industry. 

Buying a ticket for the festival therefore directly supports the next generation of talent and helps to fund the Creative Careers Fair, the Creative Futures Mentorship Programme, and regular practical skills sessions. So far, there have been 44 success stories from mentees, who have either secured internships, book crits, work placements or job opportunities since attending.

Celebrating all levels of creativity, the festival sees the most respected CEOs, CCOs, Creative Directors, CMOs, and big brands come together alongside young aspiring creatives looking for work, inspiration and opportunities. The mission for this year’s festival is clear: to supercharge the UK's creative industries, uniting the best talents and fostering a culture of innovation.

The UKCF is, of course, also home to the Creative Circle Awards, the longest running creative awards in Europe. Founded in 1945, the evening is a showcase of great ideas, fresh thinking and craft, closing the UKCF on the 11th July. A limited number of early bird tickets are available for the awards now. 

Jeremy Green, CEO, The Creative Circle commented: 

"The UK Creative Festival, Careers Fair and Creative Circle Awards are growing year upon year. Thanks to the support of the UK’s creative industry, we are helping to break down barriers to entry and support young creatives on their career journey. We are so grateful for our incredible sponsors for helping this event to return this year, which promises to be the best one yet."
