Our partnership with St George’s Bristol

Celebrating a shared commitment to culture, community, and outstanding talent.

We’re proud to sponsor St George’s Bristol - the city’s iconic, independent live music and arts venue - as part of a three-year partnership that began in their 200th anniversary year. Known for its world-class performances and rich heritage, St George’s has long been a cornerstone of Bristol’s cultural scene, offering an inspiring programme of music, spoken word, and community events.

Our relationship began in 2023, when we supported the venue’s Midsummer Magic Gala dinner - a glittering celebration of two centuries of St George’s. The event brought together music lovers, supporters, and guests for an unforgettable evening in the beautifully restored former Georgian church near Park Street.

Since then, our partnership has continued to grow. Together, we’ve supported a variety of events, from spectacular concerts to pre-concert suppers for St George’s Star Circle of supporters. But our collaboration extends far beyond the stage. One of the values we share with St George’s is a deep commitment to the community. Our support helps the venue deliver an array of impactful initiatives - from an afterschool choir for local primary school children, to a mass-participation “chorus of happiness”, and free tickets for older people facing loneliness or isolation.

Speaking about the venue’s mission, Chief Executive Samir Savant explains “We are a resource within the city. We’re lucky to have this beautiful space and we want it to be enjoyed by everyone. We work hard to reach people who may think that St George's is not for them, or who have difficulty accessing it financially or logistically. I think everyone belongs here.”

In addition to its live events, St George’s offers beautiful gardens and a welcoming café-bar that are open to the public, further embedding the venue into the fabric of Bristol life.

Looking ahead, there’s much more to look forward to in the next stage of our sponsorship. The coming programme features an exciting mix of music from diverse artists, thought-provoking spoken word events, a philosopher-in-residence running popular philosophy salons, and talks from inspiring thinkers and activists.

We’re delighted to continue supporting St George’s as they enrich Bristol’s cultural and community life - and we look forward to offering our clients the opportunity to experience all that this exceptional venue has to offer.
