Becoming a supporter

Dartington International Summer School is a charitable activity of the Dartington Hall Trust. In order to sustain the wide and varied annual Summer School programme a substantial amount of fundraised income is required in addition to the revenue brought in by the booking fees.

Your support is invaluable and contributes directly to the programme, giving our audiences and participants access to inspiring international artists and the opportunity to enjoy the special atmosphere associated with Dartington.

Corporate Sponsorship

Companies support the arts for all sorts of reasons – the quality of the performers, the help they can give to young artists, the access to beautiful entertainment venues and of course, to promote their own work.

Sponsorship packages are offered from £750.00+VAT and can include opportunities for branding and advertising through sponsoring a course or performance with complimentary tickets to concerts and private receptions to meet the artists.
If you would like more information on sponsorship you can also contact us at fundraising@dartington.org or 01803 847023.
