The next festival will be taking place on Saturday 31 August - Sunday 1 September 2024.

Much needs to be done not least in raising the necessary funds to deliver an event which brings the town to life, is free for all to enjoy but which comes at a considerable cost.

Last year’s festival couldn't have happened without the tremendous response to our fund raising appeal, both from sponsors and the public.

This year’s festival will cost £100,000 to stage.

We are very grateful to Shepherd Neame, Bridger’s Law, Edward Vinson Limited and Keith’s Motors for already signing up to support this year’s festival. This is a great start giving us the confidence to plan ahead. But it’s only a start….

Now we need to ask our supporters in Faversham and beyond to help. We appreciate this may be difficult in the current economic climate but please contribute what you can afford - go to the donate now button on our website www.favershamhopfestival.org

We will also be approaching other Faversham businesses to invest in an event which will be a huge boost to trading. Businesses can contact us on 01795 700132 or email marketing@favershamhopfestival.org to discuss sponsorship opportunities.
