The Festival has already raised a substantial amount of financial support in order to launch the event, to cover artist costs, publicity, promotion, programmes, piano hire and tuning, venue and marquee hire, transport, accommodation, food and subsistence costs for artists. Staging, lighting and contingency costs are also included.
It is expected that Festival ticket sales, with its rich chemistry of British music, an idyllic Cotswold setting, acclaimed musicians, and local food and wine, will be high. Tickets will be limited; the church can seat a maximum audience of 180 per concert, and therefore it is essential that further financial support is secured in advance.
Details of the Sponsorship levels and benefits can be found here.
