Donating to the Festival

This year, we are introducing an option where you may choose to have a 'Pay What You Can' or other paid ticket, but to donate some or all of that income to the Festival!

As the Festival is a registered non-profit, this can be a tax-deductible donation. Let us know if you're interested in this option, when you apply and we'll be in touch to discuss the process and to confirm.

Tēna koutou, thank you!
