NFOTA is grateful for the help of more than 40 generous sponsors, its many enthusiastic partners and dedicated volunteers.

“We set out to create opportunities for Northumberland artists and to help put Northumberland on the map as a cultural community, especially coming out of Covid, and this venture may well be the largest festival of its kind to be held in Northumberland.”
