    However, it's not free to run.

    Our artists, safety and security teams are all paid, and there are costs for licences, staging, sound equipment, insurance and much more. The festival is made possible through grants, sponsorship and the generosity of people like you.

    If you've enjoyed the music, performances and atmosphere, please consider making a donation before, during or after your visit.

    Every contribution helps keep the festival magic alive and ensures we can continue bringing free arts and music to Heptonstall for years to come.
