Fundraising is continuing towards the survival of our much loved

Return to Camden Town Festival from 2017

 

Due to various public funding costs and rising costs, reserves and cash flow for the event

have dwindled - it will not be possible to go ahead with staging the 19th Return to Camden

Town Festival in 2017 unless we manage to bring additional money in from new sources.

 

See here for more information about our situation:

http://irishpost.co.uk/future-return-camden-town-festival-hangs-balance-without-community-support/

 

Please do not hesitate to get in touch (by replying to this email) if you, or someone you know

would like to receive information about becoming a sponsor (or donor) of the Festival.
