ADELANTA EVENTS - SPRING AND WINTER FOODFESTS
Spring and Winter FoodFest are two annual events held at Thoresby Park in Nottinghamshire. Attracting visitors from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, the FoodFests provide a great opportunity to reach out to families, couples and retirees in the A, B, C1 and C2 groups who are predominantly car owners and have an interest in home and kitchen. The FoodFests comprise a specialist Food Market and a Kitchen Theatre, where local chefs and foodie professionals stage a daily programme of demonstrations throughout the two-day events. The organisers, Adelanta Events, are looking for sponsorship partners to support the FoodFest programme as it grows and expands. "Sponsorship packages start at £250; but rather than dictating packages and benefits, we would like to work with potential sponsors to design a tailor-made programme which will achieve the sponsor's aims". Contact: Alison Lowe. Address: Adelanta Events, 2 Commercial Road, Nottingham NG6 8HA. Tel.: 0115 975 6979. Fax: 0115 975 6907. E-mail: salesinfo@adelanta.co.uk

GLITERARY LUNCHES
Good food, good books and good company. Gliterary Lunches is a series of literary events for women. They are particularly popular with professional women entertaining female clients and also with women who simply want to enjoy a get-together with likeminded friends. Currently the lunches are held in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester. Audiences range between 150 and 250. The events themselves comprise a champagne reception, followed by a gourmet two course lunch while two award winning authors talk about their writing and inspirations. The day wraps up with coffee, conversation, book signings and meeting the authors. Previous authors have included Kate Adie, Fay Weldon, Maggie O'Farrell, Val McDermid, Tony Parsons and Lionel Shriver, among others. Gliterary Lunches offer sponsors opportunities for raising their profile through branding and communication both in the promotion of and at the event. The company also offers data collection opportunities and is open to other ideas too. They are happy to talk about sponsoring a specific event. Contact: Mrs Sibh Megson. Address: 1A Leadhall Drive, Harrogate HG2 9NL. Tel.: 01423 873116. E-mail: sibh@gliterarylunches.com

OFD/PL003 NANTWICH FOOD & DRINK FESTIVAL
Each year, Nantwich Food & Drink Festival attracts an aggregate attendance of around 25,000 visitors. The 2009 Festival ran from 25th to 27th September. Now in its tenth year, the event has become a food and drink calendar classic, with visitors spending over £1 million in the town during a week-long programme of events. The Festival's strengths lie in its ability to stay true to the values of gourmet food and drink, combined with the provision of attractions to provide an entertaining family day out. In terms of media coverage, the 2008 show received 159 pieces of editorial coverage, which included significant airtime on BBC Radio Stoke and prime time ITV. The media value of all this is estimated at £615,000. The Festival has a highly successful website (www.nantwichfoodfestival.co.uk) and a range of attractive, quality bespoke collateral. There are various different motivations for becoming one of the Nantwich Food and Drink Festival's commercial partners. Sponsorship can add significant benefits to a company's existing communications: it can create a strong brand profile and can appeal to existing and potential customers and it can stimulate national, regional and local awareness for the sponsor's business.
