Friends of the Little Missenden Festival
The Festival is especially indebted to the Friends. Their support and generosity enables us not only to continue operating, but to maintain a level of quality we couldn’t afford in our small venues if we depended entirely on ticket sales. They makes it possible to commission new pieces from time to time.
The Friends of the Little Missenden Festival is a registered charity (no 266028), so it is now able to recover tax on all its subscriptions (minimum £10 per annum). Membership not only provides valuable support to the Festival, but also entitles Friends to priority booking.
Sponsorship
Sponsorship is another valuable way of funding the Festival. We enjoy valuable support from both individuals and organisations. Sponsors may support particular events, new commissions or particular aspects of the Festival – like piano hire. Sponsors receive complimentary tickets for their events, and are acknowledged by name in our brochures, website and programme notes.
Helping with the Festival
Financial support is vital, but the Festival could not take place without the practical assistance of our many helpers. We have no paid workers – the Festival is run by volunteers.
There is a wide range of activities involved. We have a marvellous team, but we welcome any further offers of help. Click here to see some of the tasks that have to be done. Any help in making this year’s 50th anniversary truly memorable will be especially welcome.
