Thanks to everyone who came out to the various events during the

There was fabulous music, song, dance and a great atmosphere throughout.
Hope you enjoyed it
We would be really grateful (if you haven't already), if you could please fill out and submit
one of our Audience Feedback forms here:

This helps us to report back to our public funders and gives us a better chance of
securing funding going forward (fingers crossed).
Thanks to Geoff Holland for whizzing around much of the Festival to get some great

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.
