Sponsors

Sponsorship of the Crawley Irish Festival is extremely important to the ongoing success of the event. The cost of organising the Festival has risen year-on-year through ongoing changes to liability, venue hire, health & safety and governance issues. For example, liability insurance has risen over 500% since our first event in 2004. Without sponsorship, it would be very difficult to hold our events at all and certainly impossible to fund other free events.

Stage and venue sponsorship packages are available for the Main Stage, Traditional Stage, Irish Dance Stage, Ceili Tent and GAA/Sports Arena. Sponsorship packages include title sponsorship, inclusion on advertising material, placement/links on the website and advertising within the free A5 full-colour programme.

If you would like to discuss any of the sponsorship options please call John Nolan on +44 (0) 7956 317 492.
