How Can I Support The Festival?
You can support the festival in a variety of ways:
Buy Tickets Online: The first release of Early-Bird tickets is scheduled for 1st September. Tickets are expected to sell out well before the festival. Once sold out there will be no further ticket releases and no gate sales. Don’t wait for festival day, get in early to avoid disappointment, save money on the gate price and help us to pay our up-front costs!
Become A Sponsor: There are many local and national organisations and individuals taking advantage of our great sponsorship program. You choose your level of sponsorship and enjoy the exposure your business will receive in the lead-up and on the days of the festival.
Become A Volunteer: We are always looking for volunteers to do the hard yards organising the event and its myriad peripheral tasks, preparing the grounds and working at the festival on the day. And the big bonus is, that may be all it takes to get you a free festival pass! Remember: Volunteers are our Festival Family and share a special camaraderie with other volunteers, performers and festival goers.
