Wells Festival of Literature

Support Us

Sponsors


Our sponsors are vital to the success of the Festival and we are enormously grateful for their contribution, large, small or medium!

Our aim is to promote a love of the written word, first by running an inspiring and entertaining Festival of Literature and secondly by using any profit to encourage the next generation to embrace that love of literature, through helping to fund and support educational projects in Wells and the surrounding area.

Our committee is run entirely by volunteers, and our funding comes solely from ticket sales, our Friends and the generosity of our sponsors. We owe our success to their invaluable support.

We are always looking for businesses and individuals to help us continue to fund our ever-expanding programme of educational projects. There are many ways you can help – from sponsoring an event (or several) to providing a service or product for use during the Festival. There are several packages and opportunities available, and we are always open to new suggestions. Please remember – it is never too late to offer your support; our work with local schools and colleges continues throughout the year.

“It was a great audience and Brenda (Baroness Hale) was a fantastic interviewer –
she clearly had given thought to the questions and
I feel it was the best discussion I have had so far when I have spoken about my book.”
