Wilkestock 2011

  • About

    Wilkestock began its life as an outdoor party for a few friends in 2007 by brothers Tom and Olly Wilkes. Having grown by word-of-mouth due to the great success of the event, it's got a bit bigger since those days, but retained a home-grown ethos and commitment to championing new and local artists. Last year attracted just over 800 people to the fields of Watton, Hertfordshire. 

    Wilkestock has now evolved into a crazy two night event with many many hours of live music and DJ sets from two stages starting at 11am and going onto the very small hours.  

    This year the site is made up of two stages, the Main Stage which once again showcases the best local talent, up and coming bands and recognised names to fill every taste. The new addition to Wilkestock last year was the Mutual Party Stage which pumps the very best drum and bass and dub-step way through the night and is back this year with even more DJ’s to keep you partying to the small hours.

    The festival is completely non-profit and all profits are split between Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and Keswick Mountain Rescue.

  • Raise money

    A great way to boost your fundraising if you're doing a sponsored event is to raise money online.

    Setting up an online giving page with JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving is a great way to raise money, enabling people to sponsor you really easily. All you need to do is visit the site, select Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research as your charity and then create your page. You can then personalise it with photos and messages and send the link to everyone you know.

    Use social networking websites

    A great way to increase awareness of your event is to add details to your social networking site; be it Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. It's even possible now to link these sites directly to your online giving page, making it even simpler for people to donate. Another way to inspire people, and raise awareness, is to blog about how your preparation is going. If people see the amount of time you're committing, and why you're doing your event, then they'll be more likely to dig deep!

    Email your family and friends

    Target your most generous supporters first. People tend to match the amounts already listed on the page.

    Be persistent

    Try re-sending the link to your page one week before the event to get some last minute sponsors. Then send it one more time once you've done the event - it's never too late!

    Raise money while you shop

    If you shop online, you can raise money for us simply by signing up with easyfundraising. Visit your favourite online retailers through this site and they will donate a percentage of your purchase to us at no extra cost to you!
