Get involved

Entry fees cover about 40% of what each festival costs. Volunteers, Friends, sponsors and donors make up the rest.

Volunteer as a steward

Stewards keep the festival running: the front desk, the doors, announcing performers and looking after the adjudicators. A session is a morning, an afternoon or an evening, and you choose which. No experience is needed, as our Chief Steward trains everyone. Young volunteers can count it towards an Arts Award.

Leave your details and our Chief Steward will be in touch. Interested in chaperoning or joining a committee instead? Email chiefsteward@cfpa.org.uk

Become a Friend

Free entry to every class all week and a souvenir programme, for donations over £30.

Questions first? Email friends@cfpa.org.uk

Sponsor or advertise

Sponsor a class from £50, become a main sponsor from £500, or advertise in the festival programme.

Donate

Donations pay for the adjudicators, medals and certificates that every performer takes home. We are recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid, so your donation is worth more at no extra cost to you.

Prefer to give regularly, by bank transfer or in your will? Email treasurer@cfpa.org.uk
