Note about Instagram
The social media post templates will need to be slightly altered for Instagram.
Links are not clickable when included in posts so you will need to remove any URLs.
Then you can use one of the following sentences to direct people to where they can find a clickable link (we have a link to the festival website in our Instagram bio, most people who use Instagram will know to look there):
- Visit the @scottishinterfaithweek website for more info
