Marketing & ticket sales for event organisers
Thank you for choosing the Allendale for your event
If your event/activity is open to the public, we can offer marketing assistance to support your own advertising, and we'll set up 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
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, if appropriate.
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
​​
Video
If your event or activity has a promo video, let us know and we'll link to it. ​​​​​​​
​
Outdoor banner advertising
​​
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.
​
Reception TV image display
For a small fee, we can display your event image on our Reception TV. We need a jpg or png, preferably in landscape but portrait will do. Usually displayed for a month before the event; longer periods available. (Please see Image & print design)
