Ways to work with us
2. Buy an early-bird wristband
We’re releasing a limited number of early-bird weekend wristbands. These include admission to all festival events activities at a bargain price. These will be available from 19 November 2021.
3. Become a partner or sponsor
The film festival is a partnership between voluntary arts organisation Aunty Social CIC and the Winter Gardens Trust. This is a not-for-profit event therefore partners and sponsors are crucial to bringing the best to Blackpool. There are many ways to support the festival in this way, take a look at the different options and we can work out the best one for you.
- Sponsor an event: We have a number of sponsorship packages available, starting from £100. Please contact us for more information.
- Host a festival screening or event: Do you have a venue in Blackpool?
- Fancy hosting a fringe event?
We’d love to have you on board! Just email us and we can help you with programming, delivery and promotion.
If you’re a local business that would like to be involved in any other way, we’d love to hear from you too!
4. Become a volunteer
This event is proud to be volunteer-run and led. Every year we invite new volunteers to join us. There are lots of things that you can do: from ushering to character acting, box office to social media, leafleting to room dressing; we’re always looking for more people to join in. You’ll be part of a big group of friendly people who take part in film, art, heritage and social activities all year round.
