We need your help!
As a registered charity, Didsbury Arts Festival is aiming to bring life changing arts projects particularly to those who face real life challenges, and to those in overlooked neighbourhoods in South Manchester. We are currently applying to a number of funding bodies to help achieve all of our aims for DAF 2026, but even if we get them (and that's a big if), we will still have a huge amount of fundraising to do....
So what can you do?
Make a one-off or repeating donation (here) or on the button below - whatever you can afford would be massively appreciated!
Keep an eye on our Instagram account for details of all classes and workshops.
Buy some tickets for our Summer Raffle - win tickets to Matthew Bournes Red Shoes, the Hallé, The Savoy Cinema, Manchester Art Fair Preview Night, and loads more...
Consider us for corporate sponsorship - Sponsor the festival, specific events or community projects, and boost your brand locally with your target audience.
Register to volunteer - help us sell raffle tickets, be a welcome steward at an event, or join us a champion of your community / group / neighbourhood.
Do get in touch, on info@didsburyartsfestival.org - we'd love to hear from you!
