Sponsorship and Development

Be Part of a Success Story

Our 40th Anniversary Year, as well as highlighting the achievements of the last forty years will look forward to realising our ambitious vision for the next forty years, working in partnership with our stakeholders and our communities.

Why not become a partner of the Octagon and share our achievements and celebrations?

With both the profile and success of the theatre currently at its zenith, there has never been a better time to
become one of the partners of this award-winning theatre, along with our current supporters.

Theatre ‘Made in Bolton’

Built for the people of Bolton by the people of Bolton, the Octagon is our town’s most
valuable cultural resource; providing entertainment, employment and community participation opportunities across the generations, as well as raising the profile of Bolton regionally and nationally.

The core of our programme is providing and making all of our own shows and productions.
This means that everything – the vision of the creative and promotional teams, employing the actors, making and creating sets, costumes and props, developing the lighting and sound of a production – is achieved here in Bolton by the Octagon’s dedicated core staff team.

Supporting the Octagon

Sponsorship and donations are vital to continuing the outstanding success of the Octagon, allowing us to stage
our own acclaimed productions, attract and develop new audiences and expand on our work within the community.
