THANK YOU!

For 20 years, now, East Neuk Festival Patrons have been vital to keeping this show on the road. Here are just 5 things that their support makes happen:

1.Balancing the books! Ticket sales alone make up between 20-22% of our income – and that is pretty usual in the arts.The remaining 80% odd has to be found elsewhere.
2.Enable the widest audience to enjoy ENF. If we had to make all our income from ticket sales our lowest price would have to be around £128. As it is, our top price is closer to £30! and under 18s get any ticket for £5.
3. Be ambitious: festivals are an expensive business and we want the world’s best musicians to appear in the East Neuk.
4. Plan for the future: every ENF is at least 3 years in the planning – we could not do that without such loyal and generous supporters.
5. Support Musicians: whether it is mentoring for young artists, commissioning composers or making musician’s artistic dreams come true – we are proud to support musicians in everything we do.

We are profoundly grateful and appreciative of the vote of confidence ENF Patrons give every time they choose to support ENF. They have our warmest thanks. If you would like to join them for the 20th festival in 2025, click here. We will be updating this list regularly.
