The Corn Exchange is delighted to announce the launch of its Seat Sponsorship programme, a rewarding way for members of the public and local businesses to make their mark on this much-loved arts venue.
Sponsoring a seat creates a personal connection to the Corn Exchange making your experience at performances, events, and community activities throughout the year feel that little bit more special.
Individual Sponsorship is just £100 for 3 years and the perfect gift for anyone with a special attachment to this historic hall. Whether you were married here, performed on its stage, danced, sang, or celebrated an important moment within its walls, this is a lovely way to honour that memory. With space for a personalised message of up to 50 characters, sponsors can remember a loved one, mark a milestone, or simply express their affection for the arts.
Individual sponsorship includes:
- A gold-coloured metal plaque attached to the back of your chosen seat (subject to availability)
- A voucher for two glasses of prosecco in The Corn Exchange Bar to celebrate the installation of your plaque
- Recognition in the new supporters’ section of our website (launching soon)
Corporate Sponsorship is £200 for 3 years. For businesses wanting to highlight their involvement in local culture and the wider community, this option offers a distinctive promotional opportunity, for name and branding placement inside the auditorium.
- A gold-coloured metal plaque on their chosen seat (subject to availability)
- A voucher for four glasses of prosecco to mark the installation
- Premium recognition at the top of the supporters’ section of our website, including business name and logo
Councillor Rachel Crouch, Chair of the Halls, Cemeteries and Allotments Committee, said:
“I am so excited to be part of this fantastic initiative. What a great gift for a theatre lover, cinema enthusiast, or in memory of someone who loved Witney… it is a great way to include the local community.”
Whether chosen for a special occasion or simply as a meaningful gesture for someone who loves the arts, seat sponsorship is a gift with lasting value for the recipient and for the Corn Exchange itself.
