Support MVT
Great music doesn’t start from stadiums and arenas. Grassroots venues have played a crucial role in the development of British music over the last 40 years, by nurturing local talent and providing opportunities and inspiration for their surrounding communities.
The future of these venues is under threat. Here’s how you can help.
Join MVT’s Supporters Circle
The Supporters Circle is for people who want to play a bigger part in the culture they care about. People who believe Grassroots Music Venues deserve more than admiration; they deserve advocates.
Last year, Music Venue Trust stood alongside more than 200 venues facing crisis. Protecting, strengthening and championing Grassroots Music Venues across the UK is what we do.
The Supporters Circle is the most direct way to stand behind that work.
For just £5 a month, you can help power the work that keeps venues open, communities connected and local scenes thriving.
Support isn’t passive. Be a venue activist.

Partnerships
Watching live music in a Grassroots Music Venue is probably the most authentic music experience in the UK; that’s why 21 million people a year do it. The spectrum of these performances is vast, each venue different from any other, every performer unique. But there is one unifying factor, Music Venue Trust.
Associating with MVT links brands to this vast audience at the most authentic juncture in music and we’ve run a lot of successful campaigns that do just that. Moreover, MVT genuinely helps communities and culture.
If that sounds like the kind of brand association you’d like to be part of, get in contact at partnerships@musicvenuetrust.com
