We decided to look at funding bodies that could support our festival with subsidies and advertisement. We decided to look at three bodies that could help; the Arts Council, Lake District council and National Trust.
Asking for funding off a local council would be good, as they would be more willing to sponsor us and give us a bursary or financial help if we could secure that they would receive a greater number of footfall within the area, therefore, benefitting the local economy. People travelling from abroad would not just attend for one night and then fly home, there is more chance of them staying for a week and making a holiday out of it.
Arts Council England invest into artistic and creative ideas within England, helping them mature and develop into projects that benefit the country. The National Lottery are linked with the Arts Council, and on average 14p from every person in England contributes per week.
I thought about the National Trust because Grizedale forest is ran by the National Trust, because the festival will be taking place within their grounds, they may be willing to give us the location for a subsidised price, or even free if it benefitted their footfall.
