Activities in the show
The main activity of the show is the exhibition and sale of instruments, bow and music scores, but we want this place to be also an attractive place of exchanges. For this, we have implemented activities whose success has been demonstrated in previous editions.
Listening of instruments : professional musicians take turns to play a few minutes in public and in an auditorium your instruments and your bows. You are of course invited to present your work, the instrument, the bow, or your workshop ...
Registration required when booking your stand. A contribution of 10 euros is asked per session (20 minutes).
The Luthiers workshop : a wooden workbench is located near the entrance of the show and allows luthiers and bow makers who wish to demonstrate their work and answer questions from the public. We strongly encourage you to bring your work in progress !
On-site self-service registration
Mini Conferences : In alternate with instrument listening, the auditorium (equipped with video projector and screen) allows luthiers, bow makers, publishers and professional musicians to make a presentation on a theme of their choice. The recommended duration of these mini conferences is 30 minutes, without exceeding 1 hour. Feel free to share your ideas of conferences or debates !
Registration required when booking your stand
Accomodation and catering
Asfeld has reduced accommodation capacity. It is easier to stay in the surroundings : Reims (many hotels), Rethel, Laon (30 minutes by car) and in the Bed & Breakfast of the region.
Motorhomes and caravans can park in the village of Asfeld. It is also possible to pitch your tent for free at the nearby football stadium. Showers are available.
Some homestays are also possible. Make the preliminary request during your reservation.
A catering stand is set up throughout the duration of the festival. You can enjoy your meals at a moderate price and in a friendly atmosphere. Reservations will be made in advance with the secretariat of the Festival patrimoine.asfeld@orange.fr
A fast food stand also offers sandwiches and drinks without prior reservation.
Others
Insurance : each exhibitor must be covered by a liability insurance policy. Each exhibitor is responsible for the objects he presents to the public.
Official program of the Festival : an official program of the Festival will be published. The names, activities and addresses of all exhibitors will appear as they appear on your registration form. To give you more visibility, you can also include a color advertising insert in business card format, priced at 50 €. To be specified during your reservation
Festival advertising : the Festival organizes an advertising campaign in different media, but the success of this event depends largely on the personal commitment of all participants. We think we can count on you to bring your friends, acquaintances and customers to Asfeld. We will have flyers to distribute: just ask us.
