Sponsor a Seat

Now there are TWO fun and inexpensive ways to support The Courtyard and at the same time to make your mark over five or even ten years: why not Sponsor a Seat?

There are now TWO different types of seat sponsorship on offer at The Courtyard! Sponsor a seat in our 418-seat Main House for just £250 for five years, or sponsor a seat in our 124-seat Studio Theatre for just £100 for ten years!

MAIN HOUSE SEAT SPONSORSHIP For only £3 a month, you can have your very own seat plaque on a seat of your choice in the Main House auditorium. The plaque carries your own choice of wording and will stay on the seat for a minimum of 5 years.

GIVE YOUR REAR SOME CHEER! STUDIO SEAT SPONSORSHIP We are now also offering the chance to sponsor a seat in our Studio to coincide with its refurbishment. You may choose a seat plaque dedication with your choice of wording and a chance to attend the unveiling ceremony in November if you join the scheme before 2nd October 2009. For £100, you can have your plaque in place on your chosen seat (subject to availability) for a total of ten years. You can even pay by standing order mandate (you can download the form from this webpage) of £10 over ten months.

This is the perfect gift for family and friends, or as a commemoration or dedication. Join our growing range of individuals and companies who are choosing to create a presence in our major performance spaces and help fund The Courtyard’s development work at the same time.

Through the Gift Aid tax relief scheme (see the Gift Aid webpage under "Support Us"), The Courtyard can claim back 28p on every pound you spend on sponsoring a seat- and it won’t cost you a penny more! You just need to be a UK taxpayer and to fill in the Gift Aid section on your application form.

To apply, if you are paying by cheque, credit or debit card, please either download the appropriate forms on this page and send them with all the neccesary details to the contact address listed, or stop in at our Box Office, where they can accept payment by cash, cheque, credit or debit card and give you all the appropriate forms.

You can also GiftAid your sponsored seat: please see our GiftAid webpage for more information.
