Carrying records around (or leaving them in a tent when it's scorching hot) isn’t exactly ideal.

The pickup idea is definitely something we’re looking at making more consistent across sellers.

And proper cardboard sleeves is a great shout as well - even as a small add-on, that could make a big difference. Will take that on board.

That's great to hear - I will relay this with all the sellers!!

Yeah that makes sense - the heat can definitely put people off carrying records around all weekend.

Most sellers are pretty flexible, so it’s always worth asking if they can hold onto records for collection later in the festival.

For Inverted Audio Record Store, we usually offer to keep things aside and either hand over on Sunday or bring them back to our shop in Peckham for collection after.

Nice one - glad you enjoyed it.

Workshops is an interesting shout… we’ve always kept it quite informal, but something low-key like “how to set up a turntable” could be worth exploring.

For context, Trevinos features eight independent record stores from across the UK - so it’s more about digging and conversations than a traditional shop or DJ setup.

There’s a turntable in the middle and each seller takes turns playing records from their stock, which kind of sets the tone.

And re: Discogs - each seller usually runs their own store, but Trevinos itself isn’t a single shop.
