Pricing
Times are tough so we’ve kept our listings prices as low as possible but we’ve had to increase prices from last year to ensure our costs are covered.
The Brochure and Website/Social Media are the most effective ways of publicising your event, and to help with our costs we charge a small fee for inclusion.
For ticketed events, a single entry costs £85 with additional entries £60.
For free or community events, a single entry costs £65, with additional entries £40.
For multiple events, we may be able to offer a further discount.
Fees are still much cheaper than similar events to reflect our new start and to ensure WestFest is accessible for all who wish to take part.
Timeline
The deadline for copy is 5pm on Friday 22nd March
Shortly after your submission we will be in touch to confirm your listing and will send an invoice for
payment of fees.
Proofs of your entry will be sent out around 8th April and you will be asked to return your corrected
proof within 3 days for us to meet the publication date of the week of 15th April.
Also, please use the WestFest logo on your publicity and indicate that you are part of WestFest on
your website and in press statements. Logos can be found on the website.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
