Any relevant web address / twitter feed / facebook page or other contact details users will need to know in order to engage with, or find out more about your event.
The date, start time and cost of attending the event
A description of the event (excluding the above information)
A JPG image to illustrate the event. Without this we can simply use a picture of the space you have hired. Please ensure you have permission for us to use any image you provide.

You are responsible for making sure you have permission from the image copyright holder to use the images or text you supply for any publicity. Any fines for misuse of copyrighted materials will be passed on to the hirer.
Images should (where possible) not include any overlaid text. In our brochures and online, all relevant information including the event title is shown adjacent to the image so will not need repeating. Text in images is also always legible in final reproduction.
If you can, use images showing people or faces. These are known to attract the eye when scanning listings / brochures etc.

Posters / Flyers / Banners

Where using the Hillingdon Box Office, event planners are obliged by contract to include correct contact details for Hillingdon Box Office on any and all publicity for public performances. This includes both the Hillingdon Box Office telephone number (01895 250615) and web address (www.hillingdontheatres.uk). These should appear at at least the same font size as any contact details provided for the client's own ticket sales routes. If ticket buyers will be charged a booking fee if they book through an external box office, these must be detailed in your printed publicity. This is required to allow customers to be fully informed before choosing one of 2 routes to purchase, and is a ruling from the Advertising Standards Authority.
