TONBRIDGE CALLING is a FREE festival because that is central to what we want the day to be. It's run on a shoestring with minimal fundraising. Clearly some things need to be paid for however, and this is where we lean into our sponsors without whom we wouldn't be able to continue. All the organisers give of their time freely but we rely on the day on so many, many more to help set up/break down the site and of course our fantastic band of stewards are integral to making the day run like clockwork.
