Take a Step
Overview
We’ve always known that the Lemon Tree has its own vibe, so we know that we had to think “outside the chair” with a sponsorship opportunity for you to be a huge part of our third venue’s story.
For a donation of £200, you can sponsor one of our 25 steps between the Lounge and the Studio, while supporting Aberdeen Performing Arts and the work we do for arts and culture across the North East.
We even enlisted the help of our favourite Step – Lee Latchford-Evans – to help us launch this exciting new initiative!

Why Sponsor a Step?
Do you remember the first time you sat down and watched a show in the Lemon Tree? Do you remember laughing, crying, clapping, cheering, giving a standing ovation?
Take a Step is the new way to show your support for the place that holds memories for so many people – your favourite band or comedian, your first time onstage, where you saw “them” before they were big! By Taking a Step, you can play a part in making sure that these memories will be made for people for years to come.

What You Get
A unique plaque beside a step between the Lounge and the Studio with a dedication that can be made in your own name, or that of a friend or family member. It would be an incredible gift for a special occasion, or in memory of someone special.
Your sponsorship directly contributes to the growth and success of the arts in our community. The funds raised through our step sponsorship program go towards maintaining our historic venue, nurturing budding talents, and ensuring that every performance is a masterpiece.
If this isn’t for you, you can still support Aberdeen Performing Arts with a donation of any value, by clicking the DONATE button. https://test.aberdeenperformingarts.com/donations/
