More than 75 local businesses supported this year's Bedford Park Festival, making it a real community event. By helping cover the costs, they ensured that more money is going to St Mary's Convent & Nursing Home. They include major sponsors of events and marquees, restaurants who donated meals for the Win a Meal Tombola, and Turnham Green Terrace traders, who supported the children's Treasure Hunt.

M&C Greengrocers in Turnham Green Terrace donated all the strawberries and cream. Macken Brothers supplied the meat for the Barbecue. The Park Club sponsored the Bouncy Castle. Fouberts, Petit Artisan and the BBC provided prizes. Sainsburys Chiswick sponsored the refreshments and crafts marquees. Waterstone's Chiswick sponsored the Fancy Dress Parade. Wheelers of Turnham Green helped stock the Plants Stall.
