We aim to provide something for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Kirkstall Festival is organised by unpaid volunteers. All proceeds go to support the Festival. Costs for insurance, marquees, generators, tables, chairs, communications, artists, toilets, toilet rolls, bin bags, skips and signs are going up every year. In 2000 the Festival cost \u00c2\u00a36,000 to stage. With additional health and safety costs, more events, additional paperwork, licenses, permits, the cost has grown over the years to around \u00c2\u00a333,000. We receive around \u00c2\u00a38,000 in grants, sponsorship, and donations &#8211; the rest has to be raised on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">We would welcome any new members who feel they can bring a fresh approach and new ideas to the Festival. Maybe you would like to organise the entertainment, co-ordinate stalls, design the programme [go on, you know you want to], help organise publicity &amp; advertising or just help out on the day? Tired of boring meetings \u00e2\u20ac\u201c these are not, the only thing I can compare them to is the Dibley Parish Council!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">If you are a company and wish to sponsor the event with a banner or appear in the programme please contact Roger Moran.
