Dear all,
2 exciting offers for you today - if you haven't planned an event for Museums at Night (18-20 May) yet, you may like to take advantage of these event ideas!
1) Run a subsidised Museums at Night sleepover
For the second year running, our broadcast media partner Sky Arts is offering financial support to help arts and heritage venues run Museums at Night sleepovers on the weekend of 18-20 May 2012.
Sky Arts will subsidise a ticket buy, enabling you to offer discounted sleepover tickets priced at £3 to the public. So if your sleepover tickets would usually be priced at £15 each, you would receive £12 per ticket from Sky, and your visitors will only have to pay £3 each.
We're not looking for definite commitment from venues at this stage - a sleepover takes careful planning and can involve numerous staff and volunteers.
However, we'd like to gauge how popular this opportunity may be. If your venue is interested, please email me ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ) by the end of the day on Friday 9th March telling me the cost of your sleepover tickets and how many people you could host.

2) Host an author for your Museums at Night event
Culture24 has teamed up with some of the UK's top publishing houses to offer venues the chance to work with authors on events for Museums at Night.
A range of writers promoting newly published books are available for evening Q&A sessions or talks, followed by a book signing, during the weekend of 18th - 20th May 2012.
The publishers will not be asking for an appearance fee, but a contribution towards expenses may be negotiated under some circumstances.
