Unbelievable, is this the best ever?  The #LAF2018 team have been working very hard this year and with good intentions. There are only a few weeks to go but there is already a complete varied programme – which you can find here.

If you explore the website you can see that you can reserve spaces in the workshops and buy tickets for the events as needed.

Thanks to all our supporters and sponsors. We should have a plastic free festival.

You will be able to purchase a sustainable cotton shopping bag #LAF #LAF #LAF and buy raffle tickets and bid in the silent auction for the Porsche experience.

Lindfield Arts Festival are delighted that Delightfully Lavish are sponsoring the gorgeous Pink Tent  that will host the Literary programme on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd.

The tents are absolutely beautiful structures that stand proud on their own but every event needs a little added colour and furnishings to make it fantastic.  Pink being the optimum colour for #LAF2018, this will be a stunning centre piece on The Common

If you are looking for stretch tents, marquees then Delightfully Lavish have lot’s of fabulous Indian pieces to give your event that extra special finishing touch. From flooring and low level Indian furniture to festoon lighting and fire bowls. From intimate garden parties and silver service weddings to festival environments they work closely with clients to work out the exact type of event their looking to hold.  That’s why we are thrilled to have their pink one as a draw for this year’s festival.

Thank you to all our regular visitors and supporters. You know how much fun the Festival can be. However, do you know how much it costs to put on the Festival year on year, especially when the #LAF Team try to change the format, add different and more exciting activities to the programme.

Yes, the Festival has a  budget of £20,000 and #LAF Team of volunteers work tirelessly to attract funding from a wide range of opportunities including Local Authorities, Grant Funders, Friends of the Festival and business sponsors as well as our own fund-raising efforts which this year will include the sale of a reusable, bag-for-life tote shopping bag.  As a charity we are dependent on donations and financial support.

One of the easy ways that you can help us is by registering on EasyFundraising and choosing Lindfield Arts Festival as ‘your cause’.  Every time you
online shop, you can ‘click the donation button’ on the EasyFundraising site and Lindfield Arts Festival will receive a small percentage of your final shopping bill. It will not cost you ANYTHING. Yes, no charge to you but very helpful for us.

It is very simple!
