Thursday 24th April 2008

Organisers of this year’s Crewe & Nantwich Festival, which includes the annual Cultural Festival and Carnival in August, are seeking commercial partners to get involved in the event programme.

The Festival is a week-long programme of activities celebrating the arts and culture in a variety of Borough venues which then culminates with the Carnival weekend taking place in Crewe Town Centre and Queen’s Park.

Over the duration of the Festival in excess of 40,000 visitors from South Cheshire and beyond are expected to participate in the event which naturally provides a number of commercial opportunities for local businesses and organisations to deliver their message to a varied audience.

Jon Winkle, Marketing Manager for the event says, “We have a number of opportunities available for local businesses to get involved in this year’s event including advertising, trade exhibition space and sponsorship. The Festival is an ideal chance to not only advertise your product or service to over 40,000 visitors but also to put something back into the local community through the event.”

If your organisation would like to discuss commercial opportunities for the event, or if you would like a copy of the commercial pack for the event, contact Jon Winkle on 01270 537839 or email festival@crewe-nantwich.gov.uk, for trade booking enquiries contact Andrew Latham, Outdoor Events Manager on 01270 537846.
