Two major sponsors have stepped up to make ParkgateFest 2020 a reality, and bring with them more than cash.
Timeless Kitchens & Bathrooms and Apollo Builders are topping the sponsors' list for this year's festival. Their financial contributions will help underwrite the event, but they're also getting stuck in helping with upfront planning, adding exciting new attractions and spreading the word.

Tom McKeown added: "Apollo Builders NW Ltd are proud to be sponsoring the event this year. Living in Parkgate myself for three years now and being a local business man for over 15 years, I know how important building a strong community is. I feel that ParkgateFest promotes and encourages this.
"Having attended in 2018 and seeing what an amazing event this is, it is an honour to be so hugely involved.
"I am excited that the Fest will be exhibiting a vast array of vehicles including Bentleys, Ferraris, Harley Davidsons and my own Subaru, all of which will be involved in the opening parade."

Sue Saunders from ParkgateFest said: "We are thrilled to have Timeless and Apollo on board, they are such a great team and support many other local projects, so to have them involved with ParkgateFest is incredible.
"It was clear after the first couple of meetings they are truly passionate about this event and what they have in mind for this year's Fest is super exciting. We can't thank them enough."
