TEAM YARNINGHAM would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who has donated to our Ko-fi page.
We hit our target of raising £200 to pay for a bigger marquee at next year’s festival within 24 hours. We are really blown away by the support.
So once again a big
THANK YOU
We’ve set up a Ko-fi donation page to help raise £200 towards a bigger marquee at Yarningham.
Our venue, Uffculme Centre, has beautiful grounds where for the weekend of Yarningham we pitch a marquee. The marquee is home to demonstrations from the local WSD Guild, workshops, a winding station & most importantly our delicious cake stand.
The marquee also houses the social area, a place with tables and seating for meeting friends, planning shopping & eating cake.
Our current marquee measures 9 x 9m and costs £700 to hire. The next biggest marquee is 9 x 12m and costs £900 to hire. We would love to increase the size of the marquee to allow for more space for everything. However our budget doesn’t allow for this extra cost.
A simple way to cover this extra cost would be to increase the price of our marketplace tickets. Marketplace tickets have remained the same since the start of the festival in 2016. We have already had to increase marketplace tickets by £1 for the next festival to help cover other rising costs.
So we are asking you, our audience to buy us a Ko-fi (that is to make a small donation that roughly equals the price of a coffee) and help raise the extra £200 needed for a bigger marquee.
