We are delighted to be planning Birr Vintage Week & Arts Festival 2025. Now in its 57th year, it remains one of Ireland’s longest-running community and arts festivals.

Our Festival Team is already hard at work crafting a full programme of traditional favourites, from the Vintage Sunday Parade, and Fireworks Night to a rich array of community gatherings 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 continue to show that our local community is also investing in the Midlands' biggest festival with their own equally vital annual sponsorship. This blend of public and private support, alongside countless volunteer hours, is essential to our success.

 

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 2024, Vintage Week attracted 20,000 attendees, with 6,000 people turning out for the beloved Vintage Sunday Parade. The festival brings more people home to Birr than Christmas, creating a significant economic boost for the town. The Festival generates an estimated €200,000 worth of positive public relations and marketing opportunities for the town, both regionally and nationally.

Your sponsorship helps keep the festival strong and showcases BIRR as a great place to live, visit,
and do business.

Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to celebrating with you this August.

After very careful consideration, due to rising costs and for the first time in at least 15
years, we have taken the decision to apply a modest increase to our sponsorship tiers:
Bronze Sponsorship is now €120. Silver €400, Gold €550. This will significantly support the
festival, our community and our town.


We do understand that rising costs are presenting challenges for business in general.
Should you need to continue to support at 2024 levels the online payment option on our
website will allow you to enter your chosen contribution amount within each tier.
