Sponsorship Opportunities



The Fal River Festival is one of the biggest events of its kind in Cornwall. Last year over 100,000 visitors enjoyed over  150 different arts, drama, music, food and sporting events.

The popular Fal Fish Festival featuring Stein’s and Greenbank’s chefs also takes place during this ten day extravaganza of entertainment.

This fantastic celebration of life on the Fal River is the perfect vehicle for sponsorship due to its widespread appeal. Tens of thousands of people take part and there is a wide range of ways to benefit from the festival’s excellent appeal. Raising your organisation’s profile has never been so effective.

Last year sponsors such as The Greenbank Hotel, A+P, Helpful Holidays, Rick Stein’s, Cornwall AONB, Winter Rule, Skinners, Tregenna Castle and King Harry benefited from their sponsorship packages and in 2012 your organisation can too!

Festival Chairman Tim Light explains why this is such a great opportunity: 'With its diverse mix of culture, music, arts, food, literature, drama, industry, events, gardens, sports and history, the Festival offers something for everyone.'

This is arguably the best local event in the Cornish calendar and appeals to a broad range of people.  Sponsors can benefit from big exposure at a low cost.
