Durham, the museum now attracts 330,000 visitors a year, 70% from outside the region. Buildings have been saved from destruction and rebuilt brick by brick complete with authentic contents to display the unique industrial, agricultural and domestic heritage of the north east. Visitors take a tram ride back in time to the 1913 Town Street with shops and offices, Colliery Village with drift mine, pit cottages, school and chapel, Home Farm, Station, and to Pockerley with its Georgian manor house and landscape and early railway displays.

LONDON MOTOR MUSEUM
Opened in late 2007, a five minute journey from the UK's busiest airport, London Heathrow, and a fifteen minute train ride from London Paddington station, London Motor Museum is an exciting, innovative museum which encapsulates the essence of motoring achievement and features an element of extreme conversion vehicles never seen before. The museum's collection currently houses over 200 vehicles, covering the eras of the 1930s through to modern day concept cars. A wide range of transport vehicles is displayed, including bikes, trucks and concept cars. Being the only motor museum in the London region, the museum is able to stimulate the most profound motoring fanatics as well as provide an educational element which introduces innovation and core aspects of technology and design. A wide market reach, with targeted audiences being families, predominately males, and a large tourist interest, the London Motor Museum provides a fantastic canvas for inventive displays and exhibitions, being involved in some of the most prestigious and well-known motoring events - such as Goodwood Festival of Speed and Top Gear Live - and working for companies such as Nokia, Microsoft and Disney. London Motor Museum has always heavily based employment for the younger generation and provides hands-on opportunities to be involved in all aspects, such as planning, marketing and production. The museum's aims are to provide unique opportunities for the local community; it aims to raise funds for local youth programmes as well as establish a base and provide training through workshops and employment prospects. The museum is seeking sponsorship to market and promote the education programmes and to fund core collaboration projects with the community. The redevelopment of the suites will greatly improve revenue sources. To implement the second phase, a subsidiary museum in central London is planned. London Motor Museum is looking for sponsors to help fund projects and the redevelopment of the museum. All sponsors will get advertising space on the museum website, within the museum premises and on all brochures and leaflets, great marketing material and use of the museum facilities and vehicles.

MUSEUM OF ARMY FLYING
If our country had never needed early balloons, kites, First and Second World War planes and gliders, all manner of fixed wing and rotary aircraft and, nowadays, attack helicopters, then The Museum of Army Flying wouldn't need your help now! The museum celebrates over 100 years of flight, is home to a national collection of military kites, gliders, aeroplanes and helicopters and, with imaginative dioramas and static displays, traces the development of Army flying from pre-World War One to the modern Army Air Corps. It has an educational wing for children, hands-on and interactive exhibits, room for conferences, corporate and private parties - and it is situated right next to a working airfield at Middle Wallop in Hampshire. The museum is a charity and relies solely on admission fees, event money and the generosity of donors. It badly needs funds to expand in order to house further aircraft at present in store or out on loan, to improve and modernise its cramped archives, develop workshop space and double its education facilities. Each year, the museum hosts Music In The Air, its one big charity fund raising event of the year, when the London Pro Arte Orchestra and the Waynflete Singers gather to serenade a crowd of 12,000 enthusiasts who come to picnic on the grass airfield, listen to the music and watch dazzling aerial displays in the skies above them. The event is highly popular, always a sell out and the museum is looking for sponsors for it. Contact: Alison Brierly, Marketing Director. Address: Musem of Army Flying, Middle Wallop, Stockbridge, Hampshire SO20 8DY. Tel.: 01980 67421. Fax: 01264 781694. E-mail: alison@flying-museum.org.uk

ROYAL MARINES MUSEUM
Founded in 1958, the Royal Marines Museum is located in the former Officers' Mess of Eastney Barracks in Portsmouth. Its prime location on the seafront provides a stunning backdrop for everyone who visits the Museum. The Museum believes that Portsmouth's maritime heritage should be celebrated through preserving and presenting Royal Marines' history in an innovative and enjoyable way. It aims to reach all areas of the local community through events, special promotions, education activities and outreach programmes. It also seeks to develop relationships with the local business community on the basis that a working partnership would be beneficial to both parties. The Museum understands that major competition can make it difficut for a sponsor to reach their target audience. Large and expensive advertising campaigns sometimes fail to produce leads. A partnership with the Royal Marines Museum will ensure that a sponsor's brand is associated with its potential clients' lifestyle choices. There has never been a better time to get involved - during the next few years the Museum is planning an exciting range of exhibitions and refurbishments that will improve the building and its collections, with the aim of making the Museum inspiring and accessible to everyone. Bespoke sponsorship packages can be offered to suit any budget. Contact: Michelle Rickman, Development Officer. Address: Eastney Esplanade, Southsea, Hampshire PO4 9PX. Tel.: 023 9281 9385.

SCOTLAND'S SECRET BUNKER
Scotland's Sectret Bunker is seeking sponsorship from local or national companies who wish to take advantage of its unique attractions.

    AMSM/0002     BRONTE PARSONAGE MUSEUM
Haworth Parsonage was the life long home of the Brontë sisters, Charlotte (1816-55), Emily (1818-48) and Anne (1820-49), who between them were responsible for writing some of the greatest novels in the English language. It was the Parsonage, set amongst the inspirational Yorkshire moorland and their home from 1820 to 1861, which gave them the seclusion and privacy they needed to compose such famous works as Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. In some ways, their own life stories are as intriguing - and tragic - as those of their fictional heroes and heroines. The fact that their fiction painted such an apparently well-informed picture of the wider world is perhaps all the more remarkable given that such a large proportion of their brief lives was spent within the Parsonage. A wide range of sponsorship opportunities is available, from the award winning education service to development of the gardens and adjacent Sunday school building or the behind the scenes tours. Contact: Museum Manager. Address: Brontë Parsonage Museum, Haworth, Keighley, BD22 8DR. Tel.: 01535 642323. Fax: 01535 647131. E-mail: bronte@bronte.org.uk

David Herbert Lawrence, the world famous novelist, poet and artist, was born in the town of Eastwood near Nottingham, on September 11th, 1885. Whilst he had a troubled relationship with the town of his birth, time and time again he wrote about the people and places of Eastwood and the surrounding countryside, 'The Country of my Heart'. D. H. Lawrence Heritage incorporates two unique sites, the D. H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum and Durban House Heritage Centre. The Birthplace Museum is an astounding re-creation of a Victorian, working class family home that is brought to life through informative and friendly guides. Durban House was the offices of the local coal owners, Barber, Walker & Co., where as a boy D. H. Lawrence would pick up his father's wages. Now a Heritage Centre, Durban House successfully depicts the Victorian past of Lawrence's mining hometown as well as offering culturally diverse and interactive exhibitions. A wide range of sponsorship opportunities are available, from the new Rainbow Gallery to the development of the Blue Line trail, including a sensory trail for the blind, from our education services to the new D. H. Lawrence Friend's scheme or the annual Book Festival. Contact: Sally Nightingale, Cultural Services Manager. Address: Durban House Heritage Centre, Mansfield Road, Eastwood, Nottingham NG16 3DZ.
