Sponsorship Opportunities

To expand Heritage Open Days in the future, the Civic Trust is looking for “Premier Sponsors” to support the September weekend. In exchange, Heritage Open Days can offer its partners the following benefits:

Increase brand awareness

Take your brand into the community. In just four days, the equivalent of a long weekend, last year’s Heritage Open Days attracted more or similar number of visitors as some of the top twenty free and paid attractions received in a year. Any supporting sponsor would have the opportunity to reach a huge potential customer base during their leisure time.

We can also support your brand by increasing awareness among our stakeholders (government departments, local authorities, national and local organisations across the cultural sector, museums, libraries and archives and the civic movement).

Brand positioning

Associate your brand with England’s largest voluntary cultural event. Heritage Open Days has a proven fourteen year track record of success and popularity with local communities.

Improved corporate image and positive PR

The free admission policy means the event is socially inclusive and its success is due to the high level of community involvement. In 2007, over 35,000 volunteers were involved in the event.

Enhance your advertising campaign by millions

Through sponsoring Heritage Open Days, your brand can benefit from the vast national, regional and local media exposure generated.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsoring partner of Heritage Open Days, please get in touch with us and we will be happy to provide you with more information about the programme, sponsorship opportunities and benefits. Please contact Katja Condy, Heritage Open Days Manager.
