Why we’re asking for a
voluntary £5 at the festival
For over two decades, the Keynsham Music Festival has been a celebration of music, creativity, and community. From international acts to emerging local talent, from family-friendly daytime fun to unforgettable evening performances – this is a festival made for everyone.
This year, we’re inviting you to contribute – a suggested £5 per adult – to help us keep the festival alive, accessible, and thriving.
By making this contribution voluntary, we ensure that no one is excluded. If you can give £5, please do. If you can’t, please give what you can, you’re still welcome. Always.
We believe access to music, culture, and joy should never come down to income. But for those who can chip in, £5 makes a genuine difference.
Here’s why your contribution matters.
Supporting a
community-driven festival
The Keynsham Music Festival is not run by a big company. We’re a charity, powered by volunteers, local partners, and community organisations. Every stage, every sound technician, every safety steward and litter picker – it’s all made possible through time, effort, and love.
A voluntary £5 helps cover core costs so we can continue to deliver a safe, high-quality, and diverse festival for everyone.
Nurturing the next generation of creatives
We’re proud of our work with young people – from student volunteers who gain experience backstage and in event production, to young performers who take their first steps onto a festival stage.
This year we embarked on an ambitious project with a group of young people who have found themselves excluded from school. We can’t wait to share the results of their hard work with you at the festival!
Your donation allows us to keep investing in youth arts, training, and opportunities – building confidence and creativity in the next generation.
Championing local talent
& community groups
We remain committed to showcasing local bands, dancers, schools, and clubs, giving them the platform they deserve. Your support helps us offer performance opportunities and exposure without the pressure of high costs.
It also allows us to collaborate with Keynsham’s brilliant community groups, ensuring the festival reflects the people who live here. Every community group is welcome to have a stall – and enhance their funds if they want to.
Did you know that we organise a special free festival for those living with dementia? It’s our way of providing something special in a safe environment – outside of normal hours – for those who would otherwise miss out.
Offering high-quality, varied performances – for all
Whether you’re into indie, funk, folk, or classical, Keynsham Music Festival brings together a variety of artists and genres across multiple stages. From family fun to headline sets, your £5 helps us maintain that diverse, inclusive experience.
We want to keep raising the bar – without raising barriers to entry.
A small gift for a big impact
We know times are tough. But if you love this festival – if it’s been part of your summers, your family memories, your town pride – please consider giving
what you can.
Because when we each give a little, we all get to keep something special.
Thank you for your continued support of the Keynsham Music Festival.

Who Pays for the Festival?
A number of questions always get asked about this.
We are an independent charity. Keynsham Music Festival now costs over £100,000 to deliver. The money is raised from a Keynsham Town Council grant, local business sponsorships, trader concessions, a few ticketed events and bucket collections.
The festival is not for profit and run completely by a team of volunteers for the benefit of the community. Every single penny raised is put directly back into the festival itself to provide top quality entertainment.
We know times are very tough for a lot of people but, if you can afford to give a donation, I can assure you it will make a big difference. Please, be as generous as you can when you see a bucket.
