- Our outreach programme for schools, young people and individuals
There are a number of ways in which you can support our programme of work;
MAKE A CONTRIBUTION ONLINE
SPONSOR A SEAT
By sponsoring a seat in our refurbished auditorium, you will be making a valuable contribution to our redevelopment. When our auditorium reopens, you will have a seat with your chosen inscription on it and we promise that it will be very, very comfy.
The sponsor a seat campaign is going well with £250 and £500 seats now sold out. We still have seats available from £1,000 - £5,000 and payments can be made up front or quarterly.
To sponsor a seat please contact the Fundraising team on 0117 907 2689 or email Marisa Vaughan.
LIFETIME CHAMPION
The Lifetime Champions Scheme is a new scheme which is at the very heart of our programme. Companies and individuals who are part of this enjoy a wide range of benefits that are tailored to their individual needs. For an annual sum of £7,500, each Champion provides us with vital support to deliver our artistic programme of productions and festivals.
The benefits we offer Lifetime Champions include:
- Priority Booking to all performances and a dedicated booking service
- Complimentary tickets
- Invitations to special events, galas and opening nights
- Acknowledgement on Bristol Old Vic's website and in our foyers
- Personalised tours of the building
For further information on becoming a Lifetime Champion and how it can work for you or your company, please contact us.
INDIVIDUAL GIVING
There are many different ways that you can get involved in our work. Many of our supporters make small monthly or annual donations, which are vitally important to us. In return, we'll keep you regularly updated about our work and invite you in from time to time for a glass of wine and some nibbles and let you know what our plans are.
