TAKE YOUR SEAT...
at the Old Market Hall
Would you like to put your name on a piece of the Old Market Hall, or do something unforgettable to celebrate a special person, memory or occasion?
We have a new and unique opportunity for a limited number of supporters or local businesses to Name a Seat in Shrewsbury’s historic independent cinema. There are just 81 seats available, on a first-come, first-served basis. A plaque with your personal message will be added to your chosen seat. Your support will help us generate funding for future improvements to the venue.
From a dedication to someone special, remembering a loved one, or special memories at the cinema, to marking your own support for the Old Market Hall, naming a seat makes the perfect Christmas present or surprise gift.
Sponsorship starts at £250 per seat (with additional donation optional), and you can select either 5-year sponsorship, or lifetime*.
See our FAQs below for more information and then click BOOK where you can select your preferred seat.
