Support Us

Run by Sheffield City Council’s Arts Service, Sheffield Children’s Festival is a not-for-profit event. Any surplus it does make goes straight back into the festival and the education of children in the arts.

We are generously supported by our main sponsor VINCI Construction – the company that is re-building Sheffield’s secondary schools. VINCI Construction has been our main sponsor for the last four years and we are very grateful for their support.

Also, the many schools that take part and contribute to the festival, making possible the large school projects.

But, we are always on the look out for additional event sponsors or event partners – businesses, organisations or individuals interested in working with Sheffield Children’s Festival on specific projects. We are keen to hear from you if you have an idea for a project that would benefit or promote what you do, would match the festival’s aim of engaging, inspiring and educating children and if you are able to make a contribution to the festival either in cash or in kind.
