Support us
Dunster Festival is a registered charity. The support of individuals and local businesses helps us to provide a wide range of educational and outreach projects in the community, as well as allowing us to present a varied and exciting programme of accessibly-priced Festival events.
As a guide:
£250 will allow us to offer 25 free tickets for Festival events to children and young people
£500 will pay for a workshop with Festival musicians in a local school or care home
£1000 will help to pay for local children to participate in a Festival concert, performing side by side with professional musicians – a potentially life-changing opportunity

Simply volunteering to steward, pour wine or sell CDs at one of our events is enough to make a big difference to us, and of course in return you will get to hear a fantastic concert for free and meet some wonderful people. If you have an evening to spare, please do get in touch.
Do you have a spare room? Run a B&B? We need to accommodate our musicians in or near Dunster over the Festival weekend. If you have a spare room and could house a musician in return for concert tickets, we’d love to hear from you.
