Stalls & Sponsorship
A lot of work goes into the successful running of a Village Day and it would not be possible without the generous assistance of the many local businesses and organisations which lend their support by either providing prizes or lending equipment.
It may surprise you to know that it actually takes about £6000 to run a Village Day. Road closures, insurance cover and entertainments are just a few of the costs incurred. We also decorated the village with over 1 mile of bunting alone, blew up 1000 balloons, and erected 7 large marquees, all of which is achieved with local volunteer labor.
We love to work with local businesses and an agreement can be reached for pretty much anything in terms of sponsorship or publicity. Please just get in touch.
