The Corporate Friends of The Poetry Trust support our energetic and wide-ranging promotion of poetry and poets with an annual contribution of £55, making a crucial difference to the Festival and our year-round programme.

Their company names are credited in the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival Event Card, given free to the entire Festival audience, and displayed on this website for a full year. We are pleased to link to their websites for that time.

We thank them for their invaluable support.
