Case Study: National Trust celebrates and restores Sissinghurst Castle with Cheeky Communications

National Trust celebrates 50 years at Sissinghurst Castle with Cheeky Communications

The customer, the National Trust, faced the challenge of creating engaging exhibitions and visitor information for Sissinghurst Castle within the strict limitations of a historic listed building. They needed to communicate diverse topics, from garden history to building restorations, without damaging fragile structures. Cheeky Communications was enlisted to provide creative design and production services for these installations.

Cheeky Communications implemented solutions that included non-invasive exhibition panels, damp-proofed materials, and integrated films featuring curator interviews and archival research. They creatively incorporated elements like scaffolding to convey renovation work. The results were a series of successful, permanent exhibitions that educated visitors on the castle's history, its famous residents, and restoration projects, receiving high praise from the National Trust's marketing manager for their imaginative approach to complex constraints.
