CULTURAL AND PRAGMATIC INSTIGATORS

The Revels Office.

The Revels Office is a consultancy that combines strategy with delivery to help cultural organisations make memories, make money and make sense.

We exist to make culture more relevant and resilient, and readily available in people's lives. We do this by transforming the world's visitor destinations into highly magnetic and truly responsible businesses, using culture as a catalyst to enrich people and places in unexpected ways.

Our team is trusted to set out action plans for improvement and growth in commercial, audience and organisational development. Working across sectors and disciplines, we uniquely bridge between commerce, community and culture, facilitating an invaluable exchange and new solutions.

We were selected to compose the Culture Strategy for this important heritage site in Rotherham, Yorkshire. Consolidating learnings from four years of programming and consultation, our role was to create a vision for Wentworth Woodhouse that was clear, inspiring and meaningful to funders, partners from the area and across the globe, and to the local community.
