There is a buzz of excitement in the office, not just because our eco-friendly facilities are near completion, but because the line-up for this year's Festival is soon to be announced! While I can't give anything away, I can give you a sneak peek at the new look brochure, below. 

May was an incredibly busy month for our Development Team who put together the most amazing fundraisers. Following the glitz and glamour of the Spiegeltent Speakeasy, they were then spotted two weeks later at a Buckmore Park pit stop cheering on our racing enthusiasts. The results of this hard work is reported below. 

 

 

 

 

Thank you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spiegeltent Fundraising Update

Following May's fantastic Spiegeltent Speakeasy and Buckmore Park Karting Race, the Festival is delighted to announce that it has raised £9,500 from the two events. When added to the £150,000 that has already been collected over the last two years through the fantastic support of our Festival donors, fundraising events and Friends support, we are left with just £3,000 to raise by mid-June. 

If you would like to help us and donate towards our final £3,000 please click below.
