We are a charity, and we need your support - please BECOME AN ENF 2019 PATRON Did you know that it costs approximately £300,000 to produce the East Neuk Festival? And that the real cost of an ENF ticket (if you were to divide our budget by the number of attenders) would be about £72? Yet we are able to charge less than a quarter of that on average, and ensure that as many people as possible are able to come to concerts. It takes a surprising amount of resources to plan, prepare and present ENF and to bring the world’s very best performers to the East Neuk. The festival is organized by only a few parttime staff and we are proud to run a very tight ship. We have earned the support of public bodies, trusts and foundations, as well as individual patrons. We are grateful to them all but it is our patrons who continue to be the primary source of our income. Many of you have already given us your support for 2019 and we warmly thank you. Because ENF 2019 will again feature the Retreat, by supporting us now you are also nurturing the next generation of outstanding musicians, helping them to keep the music we all love as vibrant as it is now. There are many good causes that deserve your support but we hope we are one of them. Please become an ENF 2019 Patron and help keep this tight ship afloat, our ticket prices affordable and the artistic standards world-class!

THE FUTURE We believe passionately in the work ENF does. We want it to last for decades more to present superb, memorable performances in this beautiful place which makes listening to music all the more special and intense. We want it to continue to support and nurture young artists, to offer life-changing creative opportunities to artists and members of our community alike. We are working to secure the long-term future of ENF by building an endowment fund. This is an independent charity that exists to support the work of ENF and help it flourish in the long-term, giving ENF the financial security and independence which will enable it to plan for the future with flair and confidence. You can read more about the endowment on our website: www.eastneukfestival.com/endowment
