Supporter Scheme Benefits

Ticket sales account for no more than 20% of the cost of staging the festival, so funding is dependent on grants and donations. If you want the festival to continue and can afford to, please consider giving more than the minimum amount in the relevant category.

Annual payments can be made online. Monthly* payments by Standing Order, please.
