The Swaledale Festival has recently agreed an exciting new sponsorship with Brymor Ice-cream who will support the 2016 Reeth Lecture, one of the Festival’s major events. It will be given by television art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon in Reeth Methodist Chapel on Monday 30 May. The agreement also means that, for the first time at the Festival, there will be ice-cream on sale at concerts in St Andrew's Church, Grinton.
Swaledale Festival, widely regarded as one of the best music and arts festivals in the UK is noted for the quality and variety of its events. For 2016 more well-known artistes than ever will come to perform in its fascinating venues set in the glorious Dales scenery. Also, as part of its Young Artists Platform, the Festival will provide opportunities to young professional musicians as well as giving local amateur performers a place in its programme.
Brymor Ice-Cream was founded in 1984 and is the only ice cream made on the farm in Yorkshire with Guernsey milk from its own herd of Guernsey cows
Both the Festival and Brymor Ice Cream identify strongly with the local community and see this as an ideal way for these two highly-regarded organisations to work together.
Nicola Moore Operations Director of Brymor said "We are committed to supporting local initiatives and we are proud to be associated with such a well-loved event as the Swaledale Festival. We are looking forward to having a Brymor presence at some of the events and helping to make the Festival even more successful".
Malcolm Creese, Artistic Director of Swaledale Festival said, "I am delighted to welcome Brymor as part of our team of dedicated partners and it is great for the Festival to be associated with such an excellent product. I know that our audiences will love having ice-cream on sale at some of our events. ”
Peter Denison-Edson, Chairman of the Swaledale Festival Board said, “We really value having a partner like Brymor Ice Cream which shares the Festival’s ethos of supporting all that is best about the wonderful natural environment in which the Festival takes place.
The Swaledale Festival runs from 28 May to 11 June 2016. Tickets will be available in March.
