Henley Festival Trust: How to Become A Friend
Supporting the Henley Festival and the Henley Festival Trust
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, the Henley Festival passed a major milestone. Recognised nationally and internationally as one of the Summer's great British events, the Festival is nonetheless hugely reliant on the support of its friends to sustain and develop both the Henley Festival and its parent charity, the Henley Festival Trust.
What do you get in return for becoming a friend? Crucially, friends have the all-important first call on Henley Festival tickets - priority booking.
Tickets to the Festival have traditionally been in enormous demand and friends can avoid the disappointment of missing out on magical Festival evenings that are invariably hugely popular. Beyond that, however, friends have increasingly been offered additional and attractive incentives to join, and these are detailed on the opposite page.
We would also urge that you consider upgrading your support beyond the basic entry level.
Besides endeavouring to produce extraordinary annual events, the Henley Festival is also committed to the community and the stimulation of its cultural life, as well as providing an important music therapy programme for the brain injured. Few Festivals around the country have more substantial programmes. Please help us to sustain and develop these!
The possibilities for the friends are endless, the funds currently not so.
