Supporting Cultural, Sports events and Charity in Suffolk
Billie Box are proud to be sponsors of the Felixstowe Book Festival, helping to promote literacy and community engagement.
Jane (owner of Billie Box) & Clare (Jane’s sister) grew up in their parents’ newsagent in Felixstowe and supporting local organisations has been a key part of Jane’s business ethos.
Billie Box supports many local initiatives and cultural events. Organisations that Billie Box supports include HomeStart in Suffolk charity, St. Elizabeth hospice, Felixstowe Ferry Sailing Club, Suffolk Sound Radio station and the Felixstowe Book Festival to name a few.
Jane feels that this aligns with Billie Box’s business values. It builds trust by giving back to the community.
A Celebration of Literature in Felixstowe
The Felixstowe Book Festival has a unique intimate and welcoming atmosphere. Many visitors have a fun-packed long weekend of listening to their favourite and newly found authors along with eating great food and walking along the prom past the beautifully coloured beach huts. The Spa gardens are also a great spot to have a picnic looking out to sea or even at the beautiful flowers in the gardens. Some even go for a bracing swim.
At the book festival events, you have the chance to meet the authors and get your book signed. There is a mix of genres such as fiction, poetry, non-fiction and children’s events. Some of the areas covered are history, art, politics, economics, the environment and much more.
The main venue is the stunningly beautiful Harvest House that dates back to Edwardian times. The building is now mostly private apartments but the ground floor rooms are excellent for ‘meet the author’ events. You can even have a light lunch/snack at the events and sit outside looking out to the North Sea. Such a great setting.
