The Festival is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Our core costs are kept to a minimum but we run on very tight budget. We would like to thank the following for their financial assistance and support in kind during 2009.

Sponsoring the Festival

We are keen to build relationships with new sponsors and partner organisations.  Becoming a sponsor is an opportune way of supporting what we do while promoting your business.  We work in partnership with Festival sponsors to market their “brand”, enhance company reputation and cultivate support and goodwill from staff, customers, clients and the wider community. 

Benefits of sponsorship include:

• Logo and acknowledgement in printed media including 15000 colour brochures, 200 posters, banners and newspaper ads.
• Logo and link on our website
• Media exposure via press releases (local and national) issued by a professional team
• Limited number of tickets for events and the chance to meet performers

We also welcome offers of support in kind.  The possibilities are endless!

Friends of the Festival
We intend to launch a Friends scheme before the 2010 Festival.  If you would be interested in learning more about what this offers, please contact us.
