As a visiting group, any advertising requirements that you have will be discussed and agreed with our visiting events organisers.
Generally posters and hand out flyers will be the responsibility of the visiting group to design, print and distribute, and the Station Theatre will be happy to display posters and provide space for flyers.
The Station Theatre has the following methods to advertise events:
The Station Theatre provides the following facilities to visiting groups - some free and some at a cost.
For the What's On page and Foyer display, a visiting company should provide an electronic version of their poster and a short (but exciting/interest tweaking) description of the show, as soon as possibly after the performance agreement has been made. Any advertising requirements as prescribed by the author/distributor should also be included.
The poster should be provided at A4 print quality and in pdf format if possible or in any standard image format (e.g. jpg, tiff, png, etc. - at least 2480 pixels wide, 3508 pixels high). If the artwork is known at the time of booking, but the final layout of the poster has not been finalised then a copy of the artwork would at least allow us to start advertising with a visually stimulating and relevant image.
For those that use Adobe software, the poster can also be supplied in an adobe format (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) which can be useful to help with reformatting for the 6 monthly flyer - described below.
We have a display cabinet for A1 posters by the road in front of the theatre.
We can display your A1 poster for free, or, for a small fee, get one printed for you if you provide the poster in an electronic format.
We produce 2 flyers a year - each advertising the next 6 months of advertising. The flyers are generally produced around August and January and so shows can get between a few weeks and up to 6 months worth of advertising depending when they occur.
An example of one of our flyers is included here. These 8 printed page DL sized pamphlets are sized to fit into tourist information leaflet dispensers and provide a limited amount of space for each event.
In order for your event to be included in the flyer, we require the following to ensure that there is continuity between your poster and the flyer:
We use 3 locations on the Island for which we have permission to display HIADS banners, and additional permission maybe required for visiting events. The locations are 1. Station Theatre, 2. Eastoke Railway Station, 3. Wilson-Wakefield Solicitors by the high street.
Our banners are printed on banner material with eyelets. Banners are 2m wide by 0.914m tall.
An Adobe InDesign template is provided as a zip file if you right-click here and save to your computer. The text on this template is the standard information we use for our shows although the colours and content varies depending upon the colour of the show artwork. You can of course ignore the text on the template if you so wish and use whatever you think appropriate.
For a quick and easy way to get all the relevant info on your banner, you can use the following .png image file which is a banner with all the relevant information for the Station Theatre:
It is preferred that this image is placed at the bottom centre of the poster.
If this banner doesn't suit your artwork, then when designing your poster for a Station Theatre Event, we recommend that the following information should be included:
Station Theatre, West Town, Hayling Island for the location.
