Festival Sponsorship
Can you sponsor the Dobunni Poetry Festival?
Help us create a lasting cultural impact and make Stroud a leading destination for poetry in the West/South West.
In this National Year of Reading, we are celebrating the transformative power of the written and spoken word. Literature is the most underfunded of the arts, even though we are a book-loving nation.
As a grassroots festival, we are seeking sponsorship and donations to help seed fund the festival, which we aim to make an annual event.
Businesses, organisations and individuals can support the festival through the following options:
1. Festival Patron
A donation to the festival of £1000 or above as a festival patron (this can be anonymous or publicised by the festival team).
Donations can be made on this website, on our Crowdfunder, or via a bank payment to Dialect Writers CIC.
2. Event or Festival Sponsorship
Pledge to be an Event Sponsor or Festival Sponsor via the festival Crowdfunder.
Sponsors will receive:
A sponsor profile on the festival website
A thank you in our printed and digital programme
2 Free tickets to the event sponsored (Event Sponsor) or 2 tickets to our big-name events (Festival Sponsor)
Social media shout-out
3. Advertise in our programme
Promote your business with an advert in the festival programme – in print and digital formats.

4. In-kind support
Your support doesn’t need to be financial. We welcome offers of in-kind support.
