MAKING ENDS MEET!

Selling all the tickets mean we can cover most of the costs of the event, good sales at our bar covers the rest and brilliant bar sales means we can reinvest locally in creativity. Buying food from the community catering on site supports wider community activities.

We hope to make the marquee and field a great place to be all weekend so we can keep your craic and cash here!

Grant’s allow us to take chances and do things differently.
As yet this year we have no grants. So fingers crossed we are a sell out.

Sponsorship is a key piece in the funding jigsaw.
As yet this year we have no sponsorship. Any ideas?

Partners work with us to make best use of resources.
Thanks to Trac International, the Glenelg & Arnisdale Development Trust and Kyleakin Environmental Group

Supporters give us much needed cash as well as donations in kind and great discounts.
Thanks to the Ben Nevis Bar, Strath Print & Analogue Live
