Sponsor GSC
Since 2006, more than 22,500 people have enjoyed our professional site-specific productions of Shakespeare. As an unsubsidised charity, we receive no core funding and rely heavily on ticket sales and the vision and generosity of our corporate sponsors, trusts and donations.
The support of locally based companies is crucial to our continued success. In return, a relationship with our high-profile events provides:
• distinctive exposure in Guildford and the surrounding area
• a unique way to entertain existing/prospective clients, or a great way
to reward staff
• an exceptional opportunity to support the local community, its economy
and cultural well-being
...but don't just take our word for it read our Testimonials:
We have created two fabulous value sponsor packages which, depending on the level of involvement you wish to have, will guarantee to put you and your business centre stage.
“GSC are creative and easy to work with - and always amazing results.
Their productions are an asset to Guildford and one of our gems in terms
of a visitor attraction.”
Diana Roberts, Tourism Marketing & Development Mgr. Guildford
Borough Council
"We have entertained our clients at recent shows and [GSC] have
offered first class service making the experience really memorable.”
