SES Water to be main sponsor for the Orphest music festival 2023

SES Water is proud to announce that it will be the main sponsor for the Orphest music festival 2023.

The festival, set to take place on Saturday 29th July 2023, at the Orpheus Centre, is a family-friendly outdoor event featuring live bands performing across two stages, a kids’ zone, performance area, arts and crafts stalls, workshops and food stalls.

The funding will enable the charity and college, based in Godstone, to host the annual event where SES Water will be providing free water refill stations throughout the festival alongside supporting a number of volunteers to support the running of the event.

Ian Cain, CEO SES Water said:

"We are thrilled to be the main sponsor of Orphest 2023. We believe that the festival is a great example of the community coming together to celebrate music, culture, and family-friendly fun. SES Water is proud to support local events that promote community engagement, and we look forward to a fantastic day out for everyone involved."

Dr Rachel Black, CEO the Orpheus Centre said:

“We are enormously grateful to SES Water for sponsoring our event this year and for their ongoing commitment in supporting Orpheus. Their energy and enthusiasm makes a real difference to the college and the disabled students who come here and we look forward to working together on this year’s Orphest.”

Orpheus enables young disabled people to learn the skills and confidence they need in order to live as independently as possible and uses the arts as a vehicle to promote learning and personal development. Students at the Orpheus Centre learn a variety of skills, from cooking and personal finances to accessing the community and managing personal support.

Tickets to attend Orphest are available online. Children under 12 attend for free.
