Help Shape the Future of the Festival
The generous financial and in-kind support we receive from our supporters - both individuals and businesses - is invaluable to the festival.
With just a few years to go until the festival’s 50th anniversary in 2029, we’re excited and ambitious about the future. We’re committed to building on our long history of success with an economically and environmentally sensitive approach, ensuring the continued growth and relevance of the festival. We aim to inspire all those with an interest and passion for the arts.
We can’t do this without financial support, whether large or small, it helps us inspire the next generation, celebrate creativity, support the community, and make sure our festival keeps growing for years to come.
There are many ways in which you can support, and a variety of packages that include friends, patrons, donors or business sponsors.
