We have a range of membership options with priority booking and invitations to members-only events at every tier. Membership at one of our higher tiers provides opportunities to meet musicians, tour backstage, attend rehearsals and regularly meet with the Festival Director.

Annual membership starts from as little as £50 per year with options from £300 upwards for supporters who wish to become more involved in our innovative work.  If you are eligible for Gift Aid then please let us know as we can claim a further 25p for every £1 of your donation.  Higher rate taxpayers may claim a tax credit on their donations in their tax return.

To join, renew or upgrade your membership, please select from one of the options below or email Head of Development, Andrea Lee: andrea.lee@londonhandelfestival.org.uk
