Patrons

 Mary Glasby,  Patron Co-Ordinator
Thanks to the support of our Patrons the Festival continues to grow and attract new members year on year. Our patronage system, whilst almost unique in the rewards that it offers, allows people to join at whichever level they feel comfortable whilst keeping the uniqueness of the upper tiers and allowing those who want to make larger donations to do so. 

We have four levels of Patronage, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze offering the following benefits:-

  Platinum Gold Silver Bronze
Annual Payment Min £105 £70 £35 £15
Advance Information y y y y
Advance Booking y y y y
Free programme y y y y
Discount* 30% 20% 10% Nil

As you can see from the grid above our Patrons, dependant on the level that they are at, receive a full range of rewards as well as the knowledge that they are helping the festival to grow. We believe that this system has something to offer  everyone and we hope that you will be able to see those advantages, not least the advanced booking which is available to all levels and means no more disappointments because the concert has sold out plus first choice of tickets on sale.

Thank you too all our existing Patrons; your support has been tremendous, please keep it going. To all those thinking of becoming patrons, please do, not only will help our festival to grow but you will also gain the rewards for the level at which you decide to join.

John Baker, 
Chairman.
