Friends Scheme
This scheme is designed to allow support and engagement of those who wish to help the Birmingham Book Festival and the work it does encouraging the city of Birmingham to read, write and think.
The money generated through the scheme will be used directly to continue our work, creating innovative and inspirational opportunities for readers and writers in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
As a Friend you are welcome to contact us at any time to share suggestions or ideas. We are always willing to try new activities, and know that it is our audiences who make the Festival what it is.
Friends of the Birmingham Book Festival receive a welcome note from the Festival Director, a Festival loyalty card which entitles you to 20% off all books purchased at our events, a discount code which entitles you to a percentage off all tickets and invitations to VIP events and launches.
