Silver Hayes firmly believe we don’t have to accept the current status quo, a better future is possible and examples of positive change are all around us. Optimism and a desire to explore a different way of doing things runs throughout everything they do in the field.
In 2024, Silver Hayes looks to optimism to create change, combining forward-thinking electronic artists with positive action, debate, technology & design.
Presenting four stages that unite future-facing design with musical talent; The Levels, Lonely Hearts Club, Firmly Rooted Soundsystem & Assembly – a reimagined concept of the WOW, creating the field’s first indoor venue.
Alongside the musical offering, The Information returns as a space for discussion & debate, with a theme focused around imagination & a positive future.
New artistic ideas, film & technology find their home in the field’s dedicated artistic space, The Hayes Pavilion, accompanied by an area-wide visual arts programme focusing on emerging talent from across the UK, showcasing immersive design.
Brand new addition, ‘Room’, will serve as a wellness space, featuring sound baths, breathwork, guided meditation, yoga & other activities.
The continued work of Big Team CIC remains felt across Silver Hayes, featuring work placements via Bristol’s Our City 2030 programme & Saffron, along with talent development programme, Next Level.
