Sponsor GSC

Why support us?

Since 2006, more than 28,000 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 gives you:

• 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

Working with previous sponsors and listening to their needs, 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.”
Louise Punter, Chief Exec. Surrey Chambers of Commerce
