Our sponsors are vital to the success of the Festival and we are enormously grateful for their contribution

We are always keen to attract more sponsors, both businesses and individuals, to help fund our  expanding year-round programme of literacy projects with local schools and colleges.
 
Profits generated by the Festival go towards a range of educational – and fun – projects for youngsters. These include book donations and exciting in-school events with author visits and inspiring writing sessions. The generosity of our sponsors, of Friends of the Festival, and our volunteers continues to make all this possible.

Here are several ways you can help:

  • sponsor one or more Festival events
  • provide a service or product for use during the Festival
  • suggest any new ideas that may support our work with schools and colleges

Sponsors Benefits:

  • Priority booking + 4 discounted tickets to each event
  • Complimentary tickets to the sponsored event
  • Opportunity to purchase hospitality tickets
  • An invitation to special events
  • Publicity on marketing materials
  • Event sponsors receive a signed copy of the book
