Overview
New Earth èiRe runs a festival in Ireland, with Space Connection as its sister site. Since 2022 we have built and run both sites, the festival’s ticketing and its email campaigns.
The brief
The festival needed a website that sells tickets and merchandise, explains its terms clearly to buyers and vendors, and keeps its audience informed between events, all in the organisers’ own voice.
What we did
- 2022: a WordPress and Avada site with a payment gateway and ticket booking.
- 2024: a fresh Avada installation and configuration of the site.
- 2026: rebuilt festival ticketing on WooCommerce with the Stachethemes Event Calendar, including a private ticket product.
- Merchandise in the same shop.
- Terms, Refund, Privacy, Vendor and About pages, written in the client’s voice.
- Consolidated the Mailchimp lists and ran an early-bird ticket campaign.
- Set up a self-hosted newsletter in October 2026.
- Ongoing development, hosting and support for both newearth.ie and spaceconnection.ie.
Outcome
Both sites are live, with ticket sales, merchandise and the newsletter run from the festival’s own website and mailing system.
Then and now
- 2022: first Avada site with ticket booking.
- 2024: Avada rebuild.
- 2026: ticketing rebuild, email campaigns and a self-hosted newsletter.
