The Arches Sponsor a Seat campaign 2010

As a non-profit making organisation and registered Scottish charity, all revenue from individual and corporate sponsorship is used to fund our award-winning arts and creative learning programme. Our Studio theatre currently has 100 seats all looking for their very own friend or sponsor. Download the pdf for more information about the rewarding benefits of sponsoring a seat - both for you as a local business or individual, and also for the community.

The Arches held more than 250 events last year, with almost 150,000 people attending, as well as thousands of customers visiting our Cafe Bar. There are various sponsorship opportunities available for our club nights, theatre shows, live music programme and festivals.

Sponsorship Opportunites at The Arches

Want to develop a creative outlet for your company’s corporate social responsibilty needs, or be associated with one of Europe's largest multi-arts venues? 

An alternative way of becoming involved with the work of the Arches is to become a corporate sponsor of one of the many events held in the venue. There are enormous costs associated with managing, promoting and overseeing events. Sponsorship, at any level, would free up funds for bigger and better arts events. As Arches Theatre is a charitable organisation, we rely on sponsorship and commercial activity to support our arts programme.

The opportunities for involvement with the venue are as varied and exciting as the venue itself. We look forward to working with you and creating a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship.

Some of the sponsorship opportunities available in the venue: 

Behaviour: Annual festival showcasing the cream of new and innovative theatre in Scotland with International collaborations.

Arches LIVE: Yearly mini-festival of new and cutting edge performance and theatre work   

Instal: Three-day festival of new music. Now in its ninth year, experience a sensual range of live experimental, electronic, and contemporary classical music. Featuring a cast of international musicians, as well as providing a platform for Scottish based artists.  

Arches Creative Learning & Outreach projects: Sponsor one of the many Creative Learning & Outreach projects and help put something back into the local community.  Opportunity to publicise the partnership and build closer links with the local community.     

Arches Christmas Show: A magical and enchanting play for children aged 3 years and above. Become part of this fairytale to children and parents.    

Death Disco: Hit your company's target market of 18 - 30 year olds by becoming a sponsor of our monthly club night Death Disco. Market your brand name to this forward-thinking clientele.

GIFT AID

The government Gift Aid scheme adds tax relief to your donation. For every £1 you give, the government will add 28p, which means donating £100 to the Theatre Seat campaign allows Arches Theatre (the charitable side of The Arches) to claim an additional £28. This will allow Arches Theatre to claim back tax on all your donations to Arches Theatre in the future, AND we can claim back tax on any donation you have made to us since April 6th 2000. It's as simple as that!

It doesn't cost you a penny. Call Maria McHugh on 0141 565 1005 or email maria@thearches.co.uk and she will send you out a Gift Aid form to fill in.
