Corporate supporters & membership
When we develop, design and build a new exhibit, or when we research, develop and deliver a fun-packed family show, we can only do this with the valued support from the private sector, or charitable trusts and foundations.
Simply put, At-Bristol needs the support of local, regional and national organisations.
There are many and varied ways in which your company can support the work we do here at At-Bristol, and each of these carries with it a package of benefits to your organisation and the people who work there:

Sponsorship
There’s always something fascinating happening at At-Bristol. We’re always researching, developing, designing or building a new exhibit; or preparing and delivering a fantastic family show or a curriculum-linked school workshop.
And we’re always thinking of new ways to engage with our public or formal visitors both here in At-Bristol or through our outreach activities where we take At-Bristol to the community.
All this needs money and we’re only able to run these unique activities with the help of external financial support; this is where we need sponsorship.
To develop a major exhibition, such as Animate it! costs many thousands of pounds and co-sponsorship for specific exhibitions is very important to us.
We recognise that committing large amounts of money to At-Bristol is a major decision for any organisation and in response we work hard to ensure that your company’s support is appropriately acknowledged in print, web and on-site, in addition to corporate membership benefits similar to those listed on our corporate membership pages.
£11,000 would fund the development and delivery of an exciting, multi-sensory presenter-led Live Science Show.
These 25-minute shows run at weekends and throughout the school holiday periods and reach as many as 16,000 people.
The shows are fun, engaging, packed with facts and are for little children as well as adults.
We’re currently hoping to find a sponsor for our ‘Incredible Edibles’ show … all about food – but not as you know it!
Funded school visits programme
£5,000 would support our funded school visits programme and enable 270 pupils and their teachers to visit At-Bristol, including paid transport and participation in a curriculum-linked workshop.
It will also enable At-Bristol staff to spend three full days with schools delivering three workshops per day to a further 270 pupils and teachers, thereby benefitting a total of 540 students.
