Become a Friend and gift the magic of discovery

In 2026, The GAP Festival will take our community on a Journey of Discovery. We believe discovering the benefits of arts, culture and science are a vital part of childhood. So, our specially designed programme includes a series of inspiring children’s activities and events designed to give the youngest members of our community a chance to discover just this. Sparking creativity, igniting new interests, and creating magical moments that last a lifetime. 

We invite you to become a cherished 'Friend of the Festival’ with a donation of £50. In doing so you are giving a gift that opens a world of discovery to the next generation. 

Your generous £50 contribution could help us to provide materials, resources, and a supportive environment for a range of dedicated sessions, allowing dozens of local children to explore, learn, and create. With a variety of children’s events taking place in 2026, from a whole day filled with events focused on discovering the natural world and performing arts sessions to creative crafting, storytelling and artistic play. Your donation will make sure these events are accessible to all. 

 

Why Sponsor?

This isn't just a donation; it's an investment in the future of our community and a beautiful exchange of kindness.

  • Create a Memory: Your sponsorship directly funds a joyful moment in a child's life - a moment they will carry forward.

  • Receive a Thank You: As a special token of gratitude, the children involved will lovingly hand-make a small, theme-related gift or craft just for you. It's a tangible memory and a heartfelt 'thank you' from the heart of our community.

  • Become part of the team: Join our team in celebrating the impact of the Festival at our afternoon tea reception at the final teatime Festival Concert on the 21st June. 

  • Leave a Legacy: You are helping to plant the seeds of science, literacy, creativity, and community spirit in the youngest members of our neighbourhood.
