McCarthy and Stone Sponsor Ilkley Literature Festival

We are delighted to announce that McCarthy and Stone are joining us as a headline sponsor!

McCarthy and Stone are the UK’s leading builders of retirement properties and are currently building an exclusive, dual retirement development in the town.

Festival Director, Rachel Feldberg said, ‘We are very excited to be working with McCarthy and Stone. They are an award winning company who are committed to becoming a real part of the community. And with their new retirement apartments in Ilkley set to be named after much loved authors we know they share our passion for literature!’

Liz Green, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for McCarthy and Stone North East, commented:‘We’re thrilled to be sponsoring this years’ programme as we are always keen to put something back into the communities in which we build.’

To celebrate the partnership, McCarthy and Stone are launching a new writing competition with the chance to win some fantastic prizes, including dinner for two and an overnight stay at the Devonshire Arms Hotel. Click here for more information.
