We vowed right from the beginning that the festival would be sponsor-free and despite some very tempting offers, we’ve been true to our word. So with no outside forces to influence us we’re free, with the aid of our brilliant team, to develop an intimate and extraordinary event of entirely our own creation. Our links with local organisations as well as hundreds of volunteers from the local area help us maintain the festival's original roots and community spirit.
