An enormous thank you to the many local firms who sponsor events and marquees; give their services free or at a discount; or donate meals for the Win-A-Meal Contest and prizes for the High Roller Tombola and other events.

We are particularly grateful to this year’s major Festival sponsor, Savills (8987 5550) for supporting the Balloon Race, the Art Exhibition, the Richard Briers evening and the Wine-Tasting & Dinner.
