The ChipLitFest Friends scheme offers members the opportunity to support the Festival and its charitable aims financially. We suggest a minimum donation of £25 but will be happy with any amount you feel able to give. For those with larger pockets, why not join the Family for any donation over £150. A key benefit to Friends and Family is priority booking. A key benefit to ChipLitFest is supporting our work with vulnerable young people. And a benefit to all is sustaining our innovative community Festival that celebrates literature in all its forms. Details about the Friends and Family scheme are here.
