Partner with Tradition: New Sponsorship Opportunities at the Stonehaven Folk Festival
We’re excited to announce a brand-new sponsorship programme for the Stonehaven Folk Festival, starting in 2026 - and we’re inviting businesses to be part of something truly special.
For over 35 years, Stonehaven has played host to one of Scotland’s most loved folk festivals, bringing together musicians, visitors, and community spirit in a celebration of culture and creativity. As we grow and evolve, we’re offering the chance to join us as valued partners in this unique event.
Why Sponsor the Festival?
The festival provides a valuable economic boost for Stonehaven. Our festivalgoers spend money on everything from accommodation and food to drinks and other purchases, directly benefiting local businesses. You'd be helping to sustain this vital financial injection into the community.
The festival also attracts a significant audience. In 2024, we welcomed more than 1000 people over the weekend! Sponsoring us would put your company in front of a diverse and engaged group of attendees, both from Stonehaven and much further afield.
Ultimately, the Stonehaven Folk Festival is a cornerstone of Stonehaven's cultural calendar. It's all about promoting folk music, encouraging youth involvement, and fostering a strong community spirit. Your sponsorship will directly contribute to the festival's continuation and growth for years to come.
Whether you're a small independent shop or a large local employer, our tiered sponsorship packages offer something for every budget. We’re a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), facilitating charitable tax relief where appropriate.
We are offering four tiers of sponsorship, each designed to provide increasing benefits as you go up. Our options range from Bronze at £250 to Platinum at £2,000, ensuring a level that fits every budget and desired level of exposure. Some of the benefits available are:
Company name listed on our website with a link to yours
10% discount on festival merchandise (excluding artists’ merchandise)
Use of the Stonehaven Folk Festival name and logo name in your advertising.
