WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS... The “Friends of the Festival” scheme is an opportunity for smaller organisations to benefit from a raised profile that this popular event can offer.

We were delighted to offer this new opportunity for 2011 at an introductory rate of £75 (plus VAT). In return, our Friends will benefit from being included here in the programme, as well as their logo and link on our website, a listing on the West Briton double page spread, free and discounted tickets for various events, social media mentions and a Friends sticker for their premises. We also included them in any press releases wherever possible.

Thank you to all of our Friends displayed here. The Festival is a non-profit event and we couldn’t run it without your support alongside the rest of our sponsors.

01326 312078

Great online presence

Free tickets

If you would like to become a Friend for 2012, we are pleased to be offering a discount of 10% if you sign up before the end of July 2011.

Further information: Please contact Eventy - Marketing & PR who manage the sponsorship for the Festival on: info@eventy.co.uk
