Corporate Sponsorship
Through supporting Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory (SATTF), your sponsorship provides a genuine investment in the cultural life of South Bristol and the South West. Sponsorship ensures that SATTF can continue to produce theatre of the highest quality and enables many opportunities for young actors at the start of their careers through our Apprentice and Graduate Actor Schemes, as well as supporting our unique Education Programme.
Our three month, annual productions at Tobacco Factory Theatres regularly sell-out, attracting over 22,000 people. Consistent praise from the national press has extended the audience reach, with people coming from across the UK, benefiting the local community and promoting Bristol as a cultural beacon in the UK.
SATTF's nationally and internationally acclaimed Bristol productions have transferred to theatres in London, the South West and Ireland. We have co-produced two widely admired productions with the Bristol Old Vic, Uncle Vanya in 2009 and The Misanthrope in 2010. In 2013 we begin our first national tour, generously supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, who have provided funding towards touring over a three year period.

“Our clients and my colleagues here at Beachcroft appreciate the arts for their own sake and for the contribution they make to society. By bringing Shakespeare to the heart of the community, SATTF strongly reflects both these elements and Beachcroft benefits by supporting the values of the people with and for whom we work.” Tony Cherry – Regional Senior Partner for DACbeachcroft LLP
Our sponsorship packages are very flexible - we tailor individually to each sponsor, focusing on mutual brand recognition and long-term relationship development, but here are a few ideas:
• Logo placement on our marketing material
• Complimentary tickets (for you to entertain clients or staff)
• Programme advertising space
• Corporate hosting
• Foyer displays
• Media opportunities - SATTF is a high profile company and media opportunities will be wide-ranging
