For over 10 years, South Hill Park has hosted the Festival of Food and Music, a much-loved, free-to-the-public event on the grounds of the estate. The Festival features music and entertainment, tribute acts and performers as well as a variety of food and craft stalls for all the family, attracting over 6000 people each year over 2 days.
The Festival has previously been run by a private company, which are now no longer able to continue to produce the event. Due to the importance to the community, and South Hill Park’s ambition to inspire, connect and enrich lives through the creative arts, South Hill Park will take over the running of the Festival of Food and Music Festival in 2024, thereby opening up even more opportunities for the local community to get involved. Taking place on Saturday 8 – Sunday 9 June 2024 they are planning an increased focus on local suppliers, offering performance opportunities to local audiences, a wider option of stalls as well as free children’s activities.
As a charity, South Hill Park exists thanks to the generosity of its community, so is looking for corporate sponsors to enable them to continue to offer this important Festival to local patrons free of charge. There are several sponsorship opportunities available, from advertising in programmes to hosting a stand at the festival or full sponsorship of the event including press and signage.
Chief Executive, Craig Titley-Rawson said “This is a great opportunity for companies to get involved in a much-loved community event, supporting their own corporate social responsibility objectives whilst promoting their brand to the local community. Bracknell has a wealth of corporates who we hope will recognise the work that goes into running such a large event and will come together to help ensure we can continue to deliver the Festival”.
