Become a Festival Patron

At Berwick Literary Festival, our Patrons are more than supporters, they are part of our story. Each year, their generosity helps us celebrate words in all their forms: written, spoken and performed.

Thanks to our Patrons, we are able to:

• Run creative writing workshops in local schools

• Bring poetry and music into care homes

• Support emerging writers through the Berwick Writers' Forum

• Offer a rich, welcoming programme for audiences near and far

Whether you're a long-time Festival fan or new to Berwick, joining as a Patron is a wonderful way to support literature, creativity and community.

As a Patron, you’ll receive:

• Early access to Festival news and events – be among the first to view the annual programme and book tickets

• Invitations to Patron-only gatherings, including special talks and receptions

• Recognition on our website and in the printed Festival programme, unless you prefer to remain anonymous

• Behind-the-scenes updates on the work your support is enabling throughout the year

Above all, you'll be helping to sustain and grow a Festival that brings people together through shared stories, thought-provoking ideas and creative exchange.
