A bit more on our need for continued donations and fundraising...
It’s been a bumpy ride these last few years and we’re not out of the woods yet. Creating and building a festival like Towersey is hard work and increasingly expensive. Many of you have probably experienced other events you love, having to cancel or restructure their funding to survive.
Things like crowdfunding a dance floor or selling to commercial investors to keep an event alive. Some have gone and may never come back. And some will not be back in 2024.
But Towersey is more than just a festival and a job for us. We run it with a tiny team as a not-for-profit organisation. Towersey Festival is our history, or heritage and our privilege, so we can’t (and we won’t) let it go – and we know many of you feel the same way.
Coming out of the pandemic has been tough (for everyone) and we are really proud of the festival we created in 2022 and 2023 after two years of cancelled events.
But costs continue to spiral, partners and sponsors are less able to support us and inflation has hit hard… harder than we could have predicted.
We acknowledge that we would not be here without the support of our audience (you) over the pandemic years – a humbling experience given the challenges for everyone through COVID.
The world has changed and the way we need to run the festival needs to if we want to survive for another 60 years… which we do!
We are in the process of massively remodelling the business so that we don’t have to remodel the festival and we're becoming a Community Interest Company to reflect what the festival is all about and make our Not For Profit status very clear.
To get us to this next stage in the Towersey journey we need to get through this year and the only option we have left is to ask you, our loyal and forever supportive audience, to help us bridge this continuing gap whilst we seek to re-structure and look for long term financial support.
The other way you can support the future and get some extra festival treats this year is by joining the Fellowship. Have a look at our info about that – we think it’s going to be a brilliant intimate community of Towersey fans that work with us going forward and become more closely involved in the event.
