Who benefits financially from the Crawley Irish Festival?
The Crawley Irish Festival is a not-for-profit event that hopes to entertain whilst demonstrating aspects of Irish culture. Money raised at the festival pays associated costs involved organising the event. This includes liability insurance, public notices, hire of the venue, waste disposal/clean-up, hire of bands and hire of stages/tents/marques. “Profits” from the Crawley Irish Festival funds additional CICS projects (notably the Saint Patrick’s Weekend – a largely free event but where liability insurance and other expenditure must still be paid). Any additional money is donated to Saint Catherine’s Hospice and Crawley Schools.
