Two well-known local businesses have reaffirmed their commitment to the community with their ongoing sponsorship of Farnham’s summer programme of events. 

As joint Principal sponsors for the second year running, support from Kidd Rapinet and Shaw Gibbs has enabled Farnham Town Council to organise an enhanced programme of free summer activities and entertainment which includes four extended Sunday afternoon Music in the Meadow concerts. 

Councillor George Murray, Mayor of Farnham says: “The summer programme began this month with the Farnham Sustainability Festival and was followed by the highly popular Farnham Folk Day. Thanks to our sponsors, we have some wonderful events planned right through until the end of August. 

“Sponsoring an event is a fantastic way for local businesses to play a pivotal role in bringing residents together and doing something positive that enhances people’s wellbeing. We are very grateful to Kidd Rapinet and Shaw Gibbs.”

Representatives from both businesses expressed their enthusiasm for continuing to support the summer events programme. Andrew Kingston, Managing Partner at Kidd Rapinet says: “As a long-standing part of the Farnham community, Kidd Rapinet is thrilled to be the Principal sponsor for Music in the Meadow and the wider summer season of events. Farnham is more than just the place we work – it’s our community. These gatherings are a wonderful celebration of local talent, community spirit, and the joy of summer. At Kidd Rapinet, we believe in supporting the moments that bring people together and we can’t wait to see families, friends and neighbours enjoying the music and sunshine in the heart of our town.”

Mark Dickinson, Managing Partner at Shaw Gibbs Farnham adds: “Shaw Gibbs is proud to support the Farnham community again, in this year’s vibrant summer events, celebrating moments that bring people together, family-friendly fun, and lasting memories. Our sponsorship reflects our commitment to growth, connections, and community spirit, which aligns with our values. As dedicated accountants and business advisers, we are passionate about fostering a thriving local economy and value initiatives that bring people into Farnham while strengthening local businesses.”
