Packages
There are three options, Event Sponsor, Glass Sponsor or Programme Advert, each providing different communications benefits to the sponsor consequently each has different terms.
Event sponsor
This is LockFest’s principal sponsorship option.
It offers a substantial package of communications benefits, some of which have a year long life and enhance promotion of the sponsor beyond the LockFest weekend.
