Sponsorship
You can partner with one or both of our celebrated charity events. The North East Oyster Festival and the Lobster Charity ball both attract and bring together a community of corporate, charity, hospitality and high-value consumers from across County Durham, Teesside and the wider North East.
Both events are premium fundraising occasions, raising in excess of £2.5 million for local charities, as well as gaining the attention of local press and direct connections with other businesses.
