They worked hard to sell our tickets and we loved the poster they made for us!

Website and Brochure

We want to list all suitable events and shows at the Castleford Phoenix Theatre on our website and as many as we can in our twice yearly brochure. The website and brochure are both great for letting people know what is happening at the theatre and about your show.

Your Box office entry on the website is where every one of your customers will visit when purchasing tickets online. We have a few options to customise your pages including being able to link to photos, websites and directly display your promo videos on the site so customers can experience the show without leaving the site. Exciting and interesting ad-copy and content that engages your audience are always encouraged. Our team are on hand if you  need help with anything regarding the publicity and marketing of your show here atthe Phoenix. 

The brochure has a current distribution of 4000 copies. Over a 1500 aresent out directly to audience members, some are sent into the local community and the rest are available from within the venue.
Our brochures currently cover from Spring to Late Summer and Late Summer through Winter each year.
Deadlines for brochures are usually 3 months before the release but you will be informed of your individual deadline by our marketing team as work begins on the brochure you will be part of.

If you would like to be included on the site or next brochure and have not yet been contacted about this then please let us know.

For any show we will require a good quality image about your event which will best sell your show. For the brochure the image should have no text included, however if you have a separate show logo then please send this as well. We can work with different formats but our preferred are JPEG, PNG, PDF, PSD, EPS. for large file sizes please use a service like wetransfer.com. and send to neil@castlefordphoenixtheatre.co.uk
Please also send any production shots or videos you wish to use and any official press releases.

We have put together our own contact list of local media that may help you promote your show. Please contact us if you require a copy of our contact list.
