Festival Sponsors

Sponsor a barrel!

Would you or your business like to sponsor a firkin of ale, cider or perry at this year's festival?  It's one of the many sponsorship options on offer. (Click here for other packages).

Central to the Galtres Festival is a celebration of beers, lagers and ciders from micro and independent breweries, mostly local. Beer and cider sales help us to support the many charities and community groups which are funded by the festival, and if all of the beer and cider is sponsored, more of the takings over the Festival weekend will go to charity.

Sponsors will get their name:

• On the barrel at the festival - click for example barrel label
• In the brochure listing the beers, against their individual beer and tasting notes
• On the sponsor's page, with brief information giving their contact details, sphere of activity, etc
• On this web site

The cost is just £100 and includes an adult Friday ticket for entry to the festival, including our exclusive pre-festival beer and cider tasting & judging event, or 50% off other day tickets (may not be combined with other offers). Other forms of sponsorship will also be available - you might like to sponsor the children's tent, the food, or the live music. Also this year we're offering sponsorship of the Festival glasses, and also the Festival T-shirts, which sell out every year.

The festival will run from 4pm Friday 24 August 2012 to 2am Monday 27 August 2012, and should be great fun; to encourage families to come, there will be live music, children's entertainment, soft drinks and exciting food, which can hopefully be enjoyed outside.

If you feel able to sponsor a barrel from the beer list please download and complete the form  and post it to Forest of Galtres Festival, The Hawkhills Estate, Easingwold, York YO61 3FE. Please also attach your logo, and tell us which charity you'd like to support. For more information about sponsorship please contact Steve Parker on 07734 871900 or email [email protected]

Also, if you are able to help on the day in any way, please let us know - again email Jess on [email protected] or telephone 07977 408376.

Don’t delay – you may be beaten to it in your choice of beer or cider!
