Friends of the Little Missenden Festival

The Festival is especially indebted to the Friends. Their support not only enables the Festival to continue, but makes it possible to maintain a level of quality which we couldn’t afford in our small venues if we depended entirely on ticket sales.  The Friends generosity It also 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 both from  sponsored 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 support of our many helpers.  We have no paid workers, and the Festival is run almost entirely 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.
