In this practical workshop that took place on Tuesday 10 May 2022, we took participants through the process of preparing for international touring in a post-Brexit world. Step by step, we covered the basics of what you need to do, from checking if you need a visa or work permit to looking at insurance, tax, and movement of goods.
This workshop was aimed at outdoor artists who are at the very beginning of their international touring journey. It covered the absolute basics of what needs to be considered when preparing an international presentation in a post-Brexit landscape.
If this is an area that you’re already familiar with, we would recommend attending our next Dealing with Brexit: Open Conversations events.
This workshop was facilitated by Creative Consultant Nadine Patel.
