Fundraising is continuing for the long term survival of our much loved
Return to Camden Town Festival
Due to various public funding costs and rising costs, reserves and cash flow for the event dwindled -
Major fundraising efforts in 2017 have now made it possible to go ahead with staging the 19th Return to Camden
Town Festival in 2017 but in order to secure the Festival further into the future, we need to
bring additional money in from new sources.
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.
