Become a Patron or Sponsor
If you’re a person who wants to inspire forward thinkers with a calling to generate thought, open robust, respectful conversation on impactful and relevant topics,– patronage or sponsorship is a fantastic way to support that pursuit.
Those who ponder, debate and are willing to change their opinions through growth have the potential to shape the course of our future. Help support us so that we can continue bringing thought leaders to the Upper Hunter.
If you’re part of a local business, we can ensure great exposure for your business as a thank you for your sponsorship. Patrons can select to have naming rights or keep a low profile. Chat to us about how you’d like to be involved.
Strong communities are built on connection and shared experiences…so of course our Festival is filled with Community events for all ages. By supporting the Scone Literary Festival through your sponsorship, you are supporting writing workshops, film classes, business communication workshops, well- being opportunities and more. You can even select the types of events that you would like to patronise.
However you would like to support us, we will ensure every dollar goes right back into the community!
