Become
a Sponsor
We are absolutely thrilled to be planning the 2024 Birr Vintage Week & Arts Festival,
marking 56 years of one of the longest running community and arts festivals in the country!
Deadline to become a sponsor
Friday 24 May | 3pm
Our Festival Team is already busy planning a full traditional Vintage Week of the events including Vintage Sunday Parade, Fireworks Night, the return of the Vintage Market as well as numerous community and visual arts events
The Festival is generously supported through public grant aid from: the Arts Council of Ireland, Creative Ireland, Offaly County Council, Birr Municipal District and Offaly Local Development Company.
However, in order to facilitate the maximum drawdown of these vital funds, we must demonstrate that our local community is also financially supporting the Midlands biggest festival with their own equally vital annual
sponsorship.
The generous investment from sponsors is absolutely essential to our mutual success and
we hope you will once again enthusiastically support the costs of staging this year’s celebrations.
In 2023 there were 8500 attendees at the Vintage Sunday Parade and over the course of the week 20300 people visited individual events. More people come home at Vintage Week than do at Christmas generating a huge economic impact as well as the Festival generating an estimated €200,000 worth of positive public relations and marketing opportunities for the town, regionally and nationally.
Your sponsorship is not just keeping the festival flame alight it is also ensuring that BIRR through its festival activity is marketing itself as an attractive destination to visit, relocate or set up a business in.
We’re encouraging the town to embrace the traditional Spirit of Vintage once more, with prizes for costumes and shop window displays and we know that Vintage Week 2024 will be a special time of celebration with family, friends, and community.
