Wanted

Patrons to Sponsor the Festival.

As we no longer receive any funding from Slough, we are urgently seeking patrons to help us keep the Festival going. If you are keen to see the Arts flourish in Slough and would like to help financially, we would love to hear from you. A small donation, for a specific section or generally, could make all the difference to us. Thank you.
