Friends of Manchester Literature Festival launches during this year’s event and is a new scheme designed to help generate income to expand the scope of the Festival Programme so we can bring ever more interesting and ambitious projects to Manchester and to develop our education programme. MLF is a registered charity and donations are also very welcome.

The MLF Friends Scheme offers three distinct levels of engagement and participation as follows:

Bronze at £500+vat
Silver at £1,000+vat
Gold at £1,500+vat

The Bronze subscription is our entry level package and offers crediting on the MLF website and in the Festival Brochure together with tickets for a VIP Event with Drinks Reception and other Festival events. The Silver subscription includes these benefits and extends your support to our Education Programme. The Gold level subscription embellishes these benefits and offers the additional opportunity to sponsor a specific event during the Festival – great for a higher profile crediting and unusual hospitality opportunities. We are also happy to discuss tailor-made sponsorships to bring a selection of events and activities together in a package that is most relevant and useful to you.

The Festival is growing rapidly in size and scale and there has never been a better time to join. For an information pack please contact Cathy Bolton, Festival Director on 0161 236 5555 or email cathy@manchesterliteraturefestival.co.uk
