MALVERN FESTIVAL OF IDEAS
A multidisciplinary and inclusive festival of ideas on what matters

A key feature of the event is that all sessions are available free of charge to the public, so that no-one is prevented from coming by the cost of a session.
In order to achieve this, we rely on the generosity of many people and organisations. These include
-
Grant making bodies. In the past, Malvern Town Council, County Councillors and other funding bodies have provided support.
-
Attendees. Although all sessions are free, we ask for donations towards costs of the weekend.
-
The venues - these are provided free of charge by the managing bodies.
-
Our speakers. Speakers not funded by other organisations have all reasonable expenses paid. However, their time is usually given freely, for which we are extremely grateful.
-
The organisers and other volunteers who give their time freely.
-
Donors - those who underwrite the cost of the Weekend if expenses exceed income.
If we should make a profit by our donations exceeding expenses, this will be carried forward to the next Weekend.
