A&B – how they make the difference.

Buxton Festival has a close relationship with all of its sponsors and seeks to deliver packages that meet their business needs. The Festival is often supported by Arts & Business – a government funded organisation which aim to foster creative relationships between the arts and the corporate sector.

A&B has generously supported many projects with additional funding, allowing our sponsors to try something new. Andrea Carver, Acting Director – Arts & Business East Midlands, comments:

“Over the last few years Buxton Festival has developed several innovative sponsorship relationships with local companies: all superb examples of how business and the arts can work well together, for their mutual benefit and for the benefit of the community. The Festival's creative partnerships with businesses as diverse as Northern Rail Ltd, the Cavendish Arcade, and Simply Thai restaurant demonstrate that, with a bit of imagination, companies can meet their own business objectives whilst also contributing to the artistic and cultural life of the local community.”
