Heritage Friends

Thank you to our Heritage Friends for their support.

Corporate Sponsorship / Marketing Opportunities

Our business supporters benefit from far-reaching marketing opportunities, whilst supporting our work to preserve and strengthen our unique Cornish heritage.

We have a range of sponsorship opportunities to match all budgets, starting at just £200 – all with tangible marketing returns. Our “Heritage Friends” has three levels to choose from, whilst our “Heritage Hero” opportunities enable your business to benefit from a unique opportunity built just for you!

We can offer our business partners excellent marketing returns, helping to reach their specific audiences in a highly targeted way, whilst ensuring that their brand is associated with preserving and strengthening Cornwall’s Heritage.
