Become
a Sponsor
We are absolutely thrilled to be planning the 2023 Birr Vintage Week & Arts Festival, marking 55 years of our very special festival with a jam-packed schedule of community and arts events.
Deadline to become a sponsor
Friday 19 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 a jam-packed schedule of community and visual arts events
We have also been extremely busy expanding public grant aid from a variety of sources; 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 2022, the Birr Festivals Collective generated over 46,000 visitors to ticketed events in Birr, earned the economy nearly €2 million of direct economic impact as well as another €400,000 worth of positive public relations and marketing opportunities for the town.
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 2023 will be a special time of celebration with family, friends, and community.
