We are very fortunate to have a loyal group of over 60 people who regularly join us as patrons each year. It costs approximately £6000 to stage the event each year, and we are solely reliant on donations and small grants. We are therefore immensely grateful to our patrons for their consistent and ongoing support.
To become a patron, all we ask is that you make a minimum donation of £10, for which you receive a complimentary programme and get free admission to all sessions at the festival. To make life more straightforward, we have introduced the ability to pay and register as a patron on our website. If you are interested, please click on the button on this page.
You will be able to pick up your programme from the front desk when you arrive at the festival if you make yourself known to one of the team. If we hold your details from recent years, we will send a final letter again this year with other options but in the future we do hope to gradually move to doing more via the website to save on postage.
