Since launching their first festival in 2022, Lockdown Events Ltd has trusted ticket 24/7 to handle ticket sales for every Davfest event. Five years later, the festival continues to grow and remains one of Ticket24/7’s longest-standing partnerships.

DavFest has become a highlight of the local events calendar, bringing together live music, family entertainment, local businesses and festival-goers from across the region. What began as an ambitious community festival has grown into a much-anticipated annual event, attracting thousands of attendees and creating lasting memories for visitors year after year.

We’re proud to have been part of that journey from day one.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

At Ticket24/7, we’ve always believed that ticketing should be about more than simply selling tickets. Independent festivals thrive when they have partners who genuinely care about their success, and that’s something we’ve tried to demonstrate throughout our relationship with DavFest.

Recently, the DavFest team shared the following message on social media:

“A massive shoutout to Ticket247!

They’ve been a huge supporter of DavFest and everything we are trying to achieve as a local community festival. From day one, they’ve believed in the event and helped us get the word out far and wide.

Having people and businesses behind us who genuinely care about local events makes all the difference, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.

Thanks for backing DavFest, helping us grow, and being part of the journey. We really appreciate it!”

We’re incredibly grateful for feedback like this, especially from organisers we’ve had the privilege of supporting since day one.

While technology plays an important role in modern ticketing, we know that organisers value support, reliability and having people behind them who genuinely want to see their events succeed. That’s something we’ve always tried to provide, and we’re incredibly grateful that the DavFest team recognise that commitment.

Five Years of Growth

Over the past five years, we’ve watched DavFest evolve from a brand new community festival into a well-established annual event.

Each year has brought new attractions, bigger audiences and fresh opportunities to engage with the local community. Throughout that growth, the team behind DavFest have remained committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming and memorable experience for festival-goers of all ages.

Their success is a testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of everyone involved in making the festival happen.

We’re proud to have supported DavFest from the very beginning and look forward to seeing the festival continue to grow in the years ahead.

A Word from the Organisers

Reflecting on the journey so far, Scott Wilkinson, Director of Lockdown Events and Co-Founder of DavFest, said:

“Creating a new event in an area that has never been done before has been a difficult but rewarding challenge.

It takes time to build trusting relationships but from day one Ticket24/7 has been one of a few businesses who have been there to support us and help us grow.

For anyone in the early days of planning an event, Ticket24/7 are definitely a company you want to be in touch with.

They took away a lot of the stress and hassle of one of the biggest parts of any event, and the team at Ticket24/7 have always been really quick to help us when needed.

We can’t thank them enough.”
