Thank you for choosing the Allendale for your event or regular activity

 

If your event/activity is open to the public, we can offer marketing assistance to support your own advertising, and we'll handle ticket sales if the event's ticketed.

​​Marketing assistance ​

​​​

Image & print design - please read first

We're happy to use your digital image and print to help advertise your event, but there are a few requirements.

Please read more here. If an image isn't approved, we may not be able to use it on this website, TicketSource, social media, e-newsletter, Monthly Event Guides or TV screens, or put print on display, until it's amended. 

​

Digital image & copy

This is probably the most important thing: please provide a good quality jpg or png event image (not pdf, please - won't display on website), and up to 50-60 words of copy, in a Word document or email. Include info about age suitability and any theatrical hazards in the copy, if appropriate.

 

Print

Please provide 2 x A4 posters and a quantity of A5 or A6 flyers, if you have them.​ You can supply further print but we may not always have room to display it​​

​

Outdoor banner advertising

​​​​

Reception TV displays

For a small fee, we can display your event image or video on one of our Reception TVs:

 

TV above Reception desk (still images)

We need a jpg or png, preferably in landscape orientation, but portrait will do. Usually displayed for a month before the event; longer periods available. (Please see Image & print design). Fee: £20 per month.

Also available to regular hirers, as an ongoing display - please enquire.

​

TV adjacent to Allendale Hall & Theatre main entrance (videos)

We need an mpg file (other formats may work but may have to be tried), in 16:9 format. Max. 1 minute 30 second duration. Please note that as videos are run all day on a loop, the volume is turned down. Please ensure essential info is visually displayed. Fee for those with a forthcoming show here: £30 per month. Also available to local business to advertise - please enquire with us.

​​​​​

We also distribute Allendale Newsletter (subscribe for free, here) and aim to include all events in the month ahead, and we produce a monthly What's On Guide that can be collected by visitors to the Allendale and from selected local libraries.
