Winglark

Festival

Several days, several stages, and a list that knows who comes when.

A festival invites in layers: the organisers’ guests, performers and their crews, press, sponsors, and the people who make it run. Winglark sends each of them a proper invitation, asks which days they are coming, and keeps the gates moving on ordinary phones, even where the signal gives out.

Invitation ideas

Invitation ideas for this event

The invitations shown here are ideas made with AI, something to dream from rather than templates to fill in. For your own festival, on the Professional and Agency plans Winglark’s AI assistant creates the artwork and drafts the words — and the names, the dates and the venue stay exactly as you entered them.

Made with AI

An invitation like this can be yours.

Describe the mood to Winglark’s AI assistant. It creates the artwork and drafts the words for your event, and your names, date and venue sit on top exactly as you entered them.

The AI assistant is included in the Professional and Agency plans.

Festival

What you can set up

  1. Which days, asked first

    A suggested reply question, required by default, asks which days each guest is coming. Every answer lands in the replies export, one column per question, ready for the day-by-day plan.

  2. Stages and sets in the programme

    Build the running order item by item, each with its time, its stage or room and who is performing or speaking. The guest page shows it in order, so the invitation and the weekend agree.

  3. Performers, crews and press apart

    Mark guests as performer, press, sponsor, VIP, vendor or staff. Filter the list and the invitations by type, and send each group only what it needs.

  4. Gates that work without signal

    With door check-in on your plan or added to the event, any phone becomes a scanner. It keeps working offline and re-checks the offline admissions once it is back online. Each pass admits once.

  5. Late additions without resending

    A headliner’s guests reach you the week before. Add them to the list and only the new names receive the invitation; everyone else is left in peace.

  6. Arrivals and turnout afterwards

    The report shows arrivals by hour and turnout against the replies, with an attendance export for the sponsors and the debrief.

What your guests see

Your guests’ experience

Guests never need an account. They open an invitation, answer in a minute, and walk in with a code on their phone.

Festival

How people use it

A three-day music festival

Performers, crews, press and sponsors’ guests on one list, each marked by type, with day choices reading straight out of the export for the gate teams.

A literature festival with talks

Every talk in the programme with its time, its room and its speaker; speakers marked as speakers; press filtered for the press desk.

A film festival’s opening night

One opening night, a guest list brought in from last year’s saved list, and arrivals by hour at the gate for the sponsors’ report.

Festival

Planning a festival: the four jobs

Writing festival guest invitations

A festival invites in layers: guests, performers and crews, press, sponsors. Give each layer its own round, filtered by guest type, with the name, the dates, the site and the line-up in your festival’s colours, and every stage and set time in the programme.

Read the guide: Writing festival guest invitations

Asking festival guests which days they come

Ask which days each guest is coming, required by default, so the gate teams can plan day by day from the export. Plus-ones start on, one per guest. If guests need entry on several days, set up each day as its own event, because each pass admits once.

Read the guide: Asking festival guests which days they come

Managing the festival guest list

Performers’ guests, crews, press and sponsors arrive on separate lists, and a headliner’s names arrive the week before. Mark each guest by type, import and review duplicates before inviting, and add late names knowing that only they receive the invitation.

Read the guide: Managing the festival guest list

Festival gate check-in

With door check-in, any phone becomes a gate scanner, several at once, and it keeps working where the signal gives out, re-checking offline admissions once back online. Each pass admits once, and the report shows arrivals by hour for the sponsors and the debrief.

Questions

Can we sell festival tickets?

Paid places are activated with our team for eligible Professional and Agency members, on request, after a short review. Invitations, replies and check-in work without it.

Does one pass work on every day?

Each pass admits once. If guests need entry on several days, set up each day as its own event and invite guests to the days they chose.

Can several gates scan at once?

Yes, with door check-in. Several phones scan at the same time, and every scan joins one count.

Can the day question be optional?

Yes. It starts as required, and you can make it optional, change the days, or remove it. The attendance question is always asked.

Is door check-in included?

It is a paid option: included in the plans that have it, or added to a single event.

Your first event is free.
