The deadline for receiving applications for inclusion in this year's Whitstable Oyster Festival programme and website has been set for 30th April.
The programme run of 15,000+ and the popular Festival website www.whitstableoysterfestival.co.uk, not only give coverage during the festival, but are a useful source of information for residents and visitors alike during the whole year.

Listings are categorised under restaurants and galleries, plus, new for this year, shops and businesses. Participants can obtain listings in the programme and on the website separately, with the web listings linking to the company's website if it has one.

Owners of paid listings will receive a window sticker showing their support of the local community via the Oyster Festival and in addition those contributors, or sponsors, with web sites will be licensed to use the official Festival logo as evidence of their support.

If you wish to purchase a listing or are considering sponsorship or donations please check out the documents section of the Whitstable Oyster Festival Association (WOFA) website, where you can also contact the association's members to find out more.

The income derived by WOFA from the listings, sponsorship and donations, directly funds community projects and events for children during the festival.
