The Herne Bay Festival sits at the heart of the local community and town, and we are always keen to hear feedback and suggestions for future programmes. If you’d like to support the festival, then there are a number of ways you can get involved- please see below for details. If you are interested please get in touch through our ‘Contact Us’ page- we’d love to hear from you.

ADVISORY GROUP

The Herne Bay Festival Advisory Group is made up of residents and town business owners. The group meet every month at the Herne Bay Angling Association to discuss all elements of the festival including programming, marketing, support and event delivery. There are numerous opportunities available, and we would welcome anyone with an interest in the festival to come to a meeting and be involved.

PARTNERS

Our Partners are made up of businesses, community groups and individuals who actively contribute in some way to the festival week.  This includes running their own event or exhibition, lending or providing us with resources free of charge, or working with us in their spare time to ensure the festival’s success. All Partners are credited in the programme and on the website. Please get in touch if you would like to be a partner in future years.

FESTIVAL FRIENDS

Our Festival Friends Scheme offers businesses and local services the opportunity to have a 1/4 page advert within the festival programme. We also list details on the website and provide you with promotional material. This is a great way to promote a festival offer and encourage extra business throughout the festival week!

SPONSORS

The festival relies on the generous in-kind and financial support that local businesses offer us each year. In return we are able to advertise through the website and all printed marketing material, as well as other benefits. If you are interested in being affiliated with the festival please contact Sarah Cooper on sarah..uk for more information.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

The Herne Bay Festival is the town’s largest annual event, and is a fantastic opportunity for local groups and organisations to showcase their activities and members. We have a number of community events within our programme and are always keen to hear from anyone else who would like to be involved. Please contact us through the website for more information or to discuss your ideas.
