FAQ – Dolly Festival

LOCATION AND SCHEDULE

Where is it going to be held?

It is held at the Auditorium of Cotxeres de Sants, a building of more than 1000m2 divided into a plant area and a tiered area. It is located in the heart of the Sants neighborhood, just 600 meters from the Renfe station, with excellent public transport links.

What is the schedule?

The Dolly Festival 2022 will be held on the weekend of July 2th and 3th. The opening hours are from 10 in the morning to 7 in the afternoon on Saturday and from 11 to 7pm on Sunday.

Do you close at noon?

No, we do not close, in fact, we also schedule activities at noon.

What is the maximum capacity of the venue?

Why do you hold the event in a civic centre and not in a hotel like other events?

The Auditorium of Cotxeres de Sants is one of the spaces with the greatest capacity and lowest rental price in the city of Barcelona. For this reason, the price of tickets and stands is lower and we can focus on what is important: raise money for the collaborating Foundation.

Is it necessary to be at the time of the Raffle to receive the prize?

Yes. Our raffles are always face-to-face, which means that it is necessary to be at the time of the raffle, or give your numbers to someone you trust to collect your prize in case of winning.

DONATION / ASSOCIATION OR COLLABORATING FOUNDATION

What criteria are followed to select the association or charitable foundation with which you collaborate in the Dolly Festival?

It is very difficult to choose who to donate the money collected, since all associations deserve it.

To choose the Association or Foundation with which we will collaborate in the Dolly Festival we make an exhaustive search of entities that help people, and especially children, who are usually the forgotten ones.

To choose the Association or Foundation with which we will collaborate in the Tiny Dolly Festival, we look for entities that support animals, to give voice to the voiceless.

What is done with the money collected?

The raffle money is entirely destined to the association or foundation beneficiary of that edition. The expenses of the event are covered with the price of the stands and a small part of the tickets, so the rest of the money for tickets goes to the association or foundation together with the money of the raffle.

Each edition we specify the total of the money donated next to a receipt of the donation.

STALLS AND SPONSORS

How can I be a stall?

If you want to be a stall, check the registration deadlines in the «Stalls» section or keep an eye on our publications on social networks.

If you want to request a stall once the list of stalls is closed, the only way is to contact us directly. This does not assure you, in any case, that you will be granted a stall.

Your request will be assessed, and if that assessment is positive, you will be included in the waiting list, to notify you in case of a stall finally can’t assist.

How can I be a sponsor?
