WHO ARE WE?

BAOS was formed as the Thornycroft Amateur Operatic Society in 1922, changing its name in 1974 to Basingstoke Amateur Operatic Society. 

We produce 2 productions a year (primarily at The Haymarket Theatre in Basingstoke) performing to audiences of up to 400 people per show! 
Having a passion for theatre (and fun), we are proud to produce quality entertainment that inspires. 

WHY ADVERTISE? 

As a registered charity, we know that it is the support of organisations such as yours that lets us produce entertainment designed to uplift and let people escape from the stresses and worries of the modern world. 

Producing an amateur show can cost over £40,000 and by placing an advert you can help us reduce our costs, keep theatre affordable and promote local businesses to our audiences. 

Not only will your advert be featured in our programme but we will also highlight your support on our website. 

Benefits include:-

  • Supporting community-based arts
  • Supporting a registered charity
  • Advert in a programme (potentially seen by over 1520 people)
  • Your company advertised on our website
  • 2 free programmes

Our programmes are professionally printed on high-quality gloss stock card/paper.
