Sponsor a Seat
Adopt a seat in the historic Guildhall Theatre
£200 for 10 years
We will acknowledge your support with a brass plaque with your name, which will be attached to one of the seats in the auditorium. You also will be listed on website as a seat sponsor (unless you wish to remain anonymous).
All seat sponsors will be entered into a quarterly draw to win 2 tickets to a Derby LIVE produced show. (One entry per seat).*
Individual sponsorship
Celebrate a special occasion with seat sponsorship! Adopt a seat in your own name or as a gift for a friend. Seat sponsorship is a unique way to mark the arrival of a new child or for a special birthday present.
Business or Group sponsorship
Seat sponsorship is an ideal way for local businesses to support to the arts. Or perhaps you’re a member of a society or community group that would like to have a plaque displayed in your name.
In memory
You can name a seat as a special memorial to someone who loved the Guildhall Theatre and leave a lasting legacy.
Our Patron
Local actor Steven Blakeley (ITV1's Heartbeat, Derby LIVE's Much Ado About Nothing and Broken Hearted) is patron of the Sponsor a Seat
campaign.
"I am very honoured to be involved in the Sponsor a Seat Campaign at the Guildhall Theatre. This historical building, in the heart of the city, is a place I have had immense pleasure to both work in and visit. It is alive with history and performance and is an asset to a city that is rightly proud to have such a building and venue.
Like any venue of its nature it needs funds to sustain it and what better way to raise money than to ask people to sponsor a seat in the Guildhall auditorium? The names of individuals and groups will be added to the building's long and prestigious history and help ensure it has a long and prosperous future".
With thanks to our seat sponsors
