Please support your local music festival!

This biennial Music Festival has been an important and much respected part of South Lakeland’s rich cultural life for over 130 years and has been a model for many other music festivals around the country. Mary Wakefield’s aim was to encourage and promote the love of making music and to provide a friendly and encouraging platform for our young performers. Many hundreds of performers of all ages will take part in the 2019 events. We try to monitor our costs carefully and have a policy of keeping ticket prices low to encourage wide participation, particularly by families.

However, costs increase with every Festival, and we can only maintain our high standards if we have the support of generous individuals, as well as local businesses and grant-giving organisations.

Please may we ask for your help?

1. For a minimum donation of £25 you can sponsor a Class of your choice. Your name will
appear in the Festival programme and you will be invited to present the Trophy if you wish.

2. For a minimum donation of £75 you can help to sponsor one of the events taking place as part of the Festival. Sponsors’ names will be listed in the Festival programme.

3. Any donations towards the Festival’s running costs are also welcome.
Every contribution is greatly valued.

Please help us to ensure the success and continuation of this much-loved local tradition.
