Writers! We need you! - a fantastic way to get involved and learn some valuable tips along the way
if you feel you have a few hours or more, every day or just 1, we would love you to be involved in this event - no experience necessary but if you would like some training we can arrange this at one of our many competitions before the Area Festival - please do get in touch with dates you are available, particularly what you could do over the Area Festival event then I can let you know further details nearer the time portroyal.eec@outlook.com
Opportunities to get involved;
- Advertising/ Sponsorship – get your company name linked on the website, display a banner around the arena, have leaflets available on site – Prices start from as little as £150
- Trade stands – come for a day or stay for the duration – a great chance to promote your business to this audience – remember, it doesn’t just have to be horsey stuff, Riders use ‘green power’, cars, homewares, art, pet supplies ……..! From as little as £80 per day (depending on space & requirements) + discount for staying the duration
- Champagne reception at each Prize giving – want your business advertising at each Prize giving over the whole show? We are looking for a sponsor to supply Champagne/ Cava for each ceremony to really add a touch of the celebration to the proceedings and would like to offer a glass of Bucks Fizz to all the Riders (and possibly spectators?) Can you help? In return you would receive commentary on your support at the end of each class and at the Prize givings, would be welcome to supply a banner to be displayed and leaflets to be distributed from the marquee – and lots of happy customers toasting your good health!
If you are interested in any of the above or have ideas of your own that might fit with the BD Area Festival please do get in touch with Michelle via e mail portroyal.eec@outlook.com
