Each book has 15 chapters gathered from MVT’s venues network over the past 5 years and cover vital topics for a grassroots venue such as licensing, company structure, facilities and diversification.

MVT commissioned writer David Pollock and photographer Jannica Honey to create them with the help of Ticketmaster designer Charlotte Simonsen.

There are stories of successes as well as some cautionary tales from some of the people who run Grassroots Venues across the UK, and a comprehensive Guidance section at the back put together with assistance from MVT’s Licensing Advisor, Niall Forde.
