Sponsoring Cambridge Wordfest is an opportunity for your company to support the festival and to align with its core values: "a passion for books, reading, writing, culture and good company." As home to one of the oldest universities in the world and some of the newest technologies, Cambridge is a culturally vibrant city in which Cambridge Wordfest is now firmly established as an intelligent and accessible festival. The live performance element and the high profile literary celebrities create a burst of excitement, a buzz and a holiday atmosphere in the city. We are proud to provide events that entertain, inform, present serious debate and remain independent from any commercial or political bias.

We take great care to find companies that we can establish connections with to create mutually beneficial partnerships. To find out more about sponsorship packages please contact admin@cambridgewordfest.co.uk with 'sponsorship' in the subject line.

Thanks to Our Sponsors and Supporters

As the festival has grown so has business sponsorship. The festival's increasing success relies on the passion and support of a team of invaluable volunteers, individuals and companies who give their time or resources to help make it happen. The collective energies and commitment of our supporters and contributions from our sponsors together make the festival one that Cambridge can be proud of. Thank you!

"Wordfest is a creation of which Cathy Moore and her team can be justifiably proud. I have watched it go in five short years, from a dream to an annual fixture with an international reputation. TTP Group is delighted to be associated with it and to have the opportunity to act as sponsor."
