Due to the pandemic this year the Festival has lost 60% of its turnover – having fewer seats to sell, losing sponsorship, and competing for funding with so many other charities and good causes. By taking the decision to bring you this slightly smaller Festival in October, we will struggle financially. But we couldn’t imagine Canterbury without its annual arts celebration. Please help to secure the Festival by making a donation now – when we need it most.
