Corporate Sponsorship
'This tremendous company...'
The Guardian 2011
Through supporting Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory (SATTF), your sponsorship provides a genuine investment in the cultural life of South Bristol and the South West.
Sponsorship ensures that SATTF can continue to produce theatre of the highest quality and enables many opportunities for young actors at the start of their careers through our Apprentice and Graduate Actor Schemes, as well as supporting our unique Education Programme.
Our three month, annual productions at the Tobacco Factory regularly sell-out, attracting over 22,000 people. Consistent praise from the national press has extended the audience reach, with people coming from across the UK, benefiting the local community and promoting Bristol as a cultural beacon in the UK.
SATTF's nationally and internationally acclaimed Bristol productions have transferred to theatres in London, the South West and Ireland. We have co-produced two widely admired productions with the Bristol Old Vic, Uncle Vanya in 2009 and The Misanthrope in 2010.

“Our clients and my colleagues here at Beachcroft appreciate the arts for their own sake and for the contribution they make to society. By bringing Shakespeare to the heart of the community, SATTF strongly reflects both these elements and Beachcroft benefits by supporting the values of the people with and for whom we work.”
Tony Cherry – Regional Senior Partner for DACbeachcroft LLP
“Willmott Dixon Construction has proudly supported Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory for the last 3 years and we take great delight in being able to share the relationship with our colleagues, our Clients and with schools in our local community”.
Neal Stephens - Managing Director for Willmott Dixon Construction
