Advertising

Reach an annual audience of around 320,000 people from a range of demographics by advertising with The Courtyard.

We can be very flexible and arrange plans which suit your organisation. Here are some examples of our advertising options:

PLASMA SCREENS

Catch the busy footfall of over 320,000 people each year in our building by advertising on our eye-catching screens. We have various screens located in our Café Bar, busy foyer and Box Office. These show an interesting mix of performance and venue information as well as offering impactful advertising opportunities.

DIGITAL – EMAIL ADVERTISING

We send email shots to up to 25,000 people each week promoting various upcoming events. Capture this audience by having your advert added to mailshots over a set period ranging from one week to a month. Target different demographics e.g age, postcode areas and a range of genres including music, drama, comedy, dance and film.

SHOW PROGRAMMES

We produce several show programmes, the main one being the annual Pantomime. These are designed to a high standard and reflect the overall design for the production. These offer an extended shelf life due to their souvenir value. Adverts sizes include quarter, half or full page and Business & Supporters Club members receive 10% discount on the rate card.

SEASON BROCHURE

The premium outside back cover and inside front cover of our main season brochure, also known as the Live Guide, are available each season. We produce three guides per year; January – April, May – August and September – December. This is the only commercial advertising in the brochure and offers a stand-out opportunity, guaranteeing high visibility. The guides are seen by regular Courtyard attendees and the wider general public. We generally print around 15,000 season brochures, of which 7,000 are mailed directly to households, and the rest distributed in the venue, across Herefordshire and beyond.

IN-VENUE

Annual contracts are available for A4 ad spaces within the Men’s, Ladies and Accessible facilities. An annual contract is also available for one of two large landscape panels at the far end of the porch exit into the car park, near the Café Bar.
