Sponsoring us..
We are aways happy to hear from individuals and business who wish to sponsor us, either through a financial contribution, or a 'sponsorship in kind' (such as venue space, accommodation, advertising).
So, if you are you a local business, why not consider sponsoring us?
Local sponsorship is really appreciated, as it helps with our funding applications and also because give us local visible support. We run an annual programme that includes a summer festival, a day long festival in the autumn, national literary competitions and occasional one-off events throughout the year. For sponsors this means getting your logo and name on our website, and in newsletters, programmes and flyers, plus mention on our social media feeds.
This year, we are grateful to The Hawthorns for sponsoring our 2025 June event and donating the use of their beautiful atrium space for a visiting exhibition, and to Spinning Weal for their continued sponsorship.
Our thanks and gratitude for donations in kind now and in the past:
