The support of individual and corporate sponsors is essential for us to continue to stage successful events. The top-flight performers that we attract command substantial fees but are well worth it in the quality of their performance and the audiences that they attract.

Many individuals sponsor us by joining as Friends. Please Click here to view details. In return for an annual fee, the key benefit to Friends is the priority booking that they gain access to. As our concerts always sell out, this privilege is a huge incentive.

Individuals are also invited to support us by contributing to the cost of specific elements of particular performances – by sponsoring the Composer for example, or perhaps the First Violin, or even the Percussionist.

There is also good reason for corporate sponsors to support us. Our audiences are a valuable demographic and reaching them through the marketing and promotion associated with Grayshott Concerts as well as with a physical presence at events is an effective conduit to place those businesses front of mind with potential customers and new clients.

It’s also an excellent way for businesses to demonstrate their corporate social responsibility, by supporting a registered charity that aims to improve lives through music.

Current Sponsors

Our grateful thanks go to all of our Sponsors and Funders including:

Applegarth Farm, Restaurant, Cookery School & Delicatessen

We are especially indebted to Applegarth Farm who have unfailingly sponsored every event of Grayshott Concerts since our very first event in 2004. Much of our success is down to their support.

Applegarth, in Headley Road, Grayshott, is an unashamedly family firm where all the members get involved in growing the success of the business, which has itself grown from a ‘Pick-your-Own’ farm to the successful and highly popular Restaurant, Cookery School and Farm Shop it is today.

Grateful thanks to John, Stephanie, Will and Bex Benson for all your support for over fifteen years – and over 70 concerts (not to forget 2013's 'Tattoo' and past 'Shakespearience').

Local Authority Grants and other Awards

Grayshott Concerts has received awards under Hampshire County Council’s Arts Activity Funding scheme and also HCC’s Business Partnership scheme to encourage business sponsorship of the arts. In a time of austerity, these grants are especially welcome.

Awards have also been received from the Hampshire County Councillors’ Devolved Budget Fund. Grayshott Concerts was pleased to accept an award from the Tunnel Vision Fund administered by Surrey Community Foundation.

Grayshott Concerts is also delighted to acknowledge an award under Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation’s ‘Grassroots’ scheme.

We are very appreciative of the enormous help we receive from our local County Councillor , Floss Mitchell and from District Councillor, Ferris Cowper, who have always seen fit to recommend our applications for funding from County and District. We are especially indebted to the Officers of East Hampshire District Council for their advice, encouragement and support.

Although budgets are very tight at village level, we were delighted to receive an award from Grayshott Parish Council.

We would also like to thank ‘Awards for All’, Co-operative Community Fund, D Hammond Trust, and SITA Trust for awarding us funds to support our activities.
