Stonehaven Folk Festival is pleased to announce the launch of its new Sponsorship Programme, designed to help secure the long‑term sustainability of the Festival and support our plans to work with local primary schools on a growing programme of traditional music activities.
The Sponsorship Programme gives local businesses, organisations and individuals the opportunity to support this work — and the Festival — directly. Contributions will help us:
- Provide more instruments for school workshops
- Bring professional musicians into classrooms
- Keep Festival events accessible for the whole community
- Sustain and grow the Festival for future generations
Festival organisers say the programme is an important step in strengthening community partnerships.
Festival Chairperson Dave Bliss said: “The Festival has become a valued part of Stonehaven’s cultural life, and this programme gives supporters a clear way to help secure its long‑term sustainability.”
A range of sponsorship options is available, from supporting a single workshop or helping to purchase instruments for schools, to backing a full Festival event. All sponsors will be acknowledged on our website and in Festival materials, with additional benefits depending on the level of support.
We are delighted to announce that our first two sponsors for 2026 are:
Go-Fibre, a Scottish, independent broadband provider
Baa – a Stonehaven business selling all your knitting needs!
Diane Reid, Festival Fundraising Co-Ordinator said “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Go-Fibre and Baa as our inaugural sponsors. Their support marks an exciting start to our new Sponsorship Programme.”
Anyone interested in getting involved can contact sponsors@stonehavenfolkfestival.co.uk for more information or see our Sponsorship page.
