WHY SPONSOR THE BLAKEHAY?

Become a Business Sponsor

The Blakehay is more than just a stage. Alongside our exciting mix of professional shows, we’re proudly rooted in community. Every year, we welcome thousands of people through our doors, whether for performances, workshops, community projects, or creative learning opportunities.

Business sponsorship plays a vital role in making all of this possible. Your support helps us grow our impact, champion local talent, and keep the arts thriving.

​

Reach people that other advertising can’t.
Sponsoring The Blakehay shows your customers that your business invests in the heart of Weston-super-Mare. It sets you apart from competitors who don’t give back locally. In fact, a study showed that 82% of people would choose a company that supports local causes over one that doesn’t, especially when prices are the same.
