Wondering what all the hype is about? It’s our 2020 Virtual Festival House Party and you’re invited! Follow the tips below to get into the festival mood, join in the shenanigans and help us raise vital funds for Awamu’s work in Kampala.
Tip 1: Look the part - purchase your festival merchandise
Support Together by purchasing your festival merchandise here. Stand out at your living room festival with new commemorative tees and mugs designed by James Mayall.
Tip 2: Nobody parties alone, get involved on our forum now!
We wanted one place to bring all the weekends activities together and we could all connect over the weekend - a place to chat, comment, give shout outs to the wonderful artists.
Huge thanks to Miko Coffey who built us both this amazing forum and website.
Tip 3: Get your raffle tickets now
From exquisite gin, to bangin’ choons, super cool artworks, handmade guitars and the full luxury glamping festival experience for Together 2021, you can win it all in our raffle. But you gotta be in it to win it, so pick up your tickets here:
Tip 4: Break out the decor and your best fancy dress
Mairead (Queen of all things decor and crafting), has decor tips and make & do activities for the family in our House Party forum - wigs and make-up at the ready!
Tip 5: Mix your drinks
You’re now decorated and are shimmering in your favourite outfit, chatting with your friends on the forum and getting ready to pump-up the music like you’re at the main stage. What is missing? An ice cold drink.
You can recreate that feel good feeling you get when you buy a drink at the bar at Together: dig out your Together cup, get stocked with plenty of ice and your favourite tipples. Then donate the £’s you save by running your own bar to our emergency appeal every time you have a drink.
Tip 6: Get creative in the kitchen
Recreate your own festival vibe at home with tasty, festival-inspired recipes from Gaby that are packed with flavours from all over the world and easy to make. Check the House Party forum for all of Gaby’s recipes and stock up your fridge & pantry!
Tip 7: Send a message and connect via this year’s Together photobooth
One of our favourite things about Together is laughing at all the photobooth pictures and seeing your amazing outfits whilst we edit them all together. We figured we have to keep it going this year. Let’s use the opportunity to send messages of love and hope to our friends near and far.
So, make a sign, take a selfie and share it with us all on our Photobooth 2020 forum channel
Tip 8: Put on your thinking cap & get ready for QuizAid
The wonderful folk of QuizAid will be laying on an online, multimedia pub quiz for you. Full details will be on our 2020 schedule, but you can get ahead of the game and invite all your friends to take part - if you bring along someone new to Together, they'll give your team a bonus point!
Tip 9: Take part in our TikTok Challenge
Ivy and Nuala have set the bar high with top choreography, gorgeous holiday setting, Awamu wardrobe and quality crew... Watch it here. Think you can beat it...?
C Natty - Ojah is the brilliant backing tune, use the same tune and send us your videos ASAP!
NB: This is defintley one for the kids who understand what TikTok actually is!
Tip 10: Spread the word
The more people who join the party & donate, the more vital funds we can raise for our emergency appeal to help support the vital work that Florence, Sarah and all of the team do on the ground in Kampala. So please spread the word and invite friends & family to participate.
