Case Study: Southbank Centre achieves a simpler, more flexible event website with Manifesto

Southbank Centre simplifies 3,000 annual events with Manifesto

The Southbank Centre, the UK's largest arts centre, faced the challenge of upgrading its outdated Drupal 7 CMS and streamlining the complex process of selling tickets to its 3,000 annual events. They partnered with vendor Manifesto and creative agency Today Tomorrow to rebuild their website, aiming to create a more optimized experience for attendees and a stronger digital foundation.

Manifesto implemented a new component-based CMS that integrated with the centre's existing Artifax event and Bynder asset management systems. The solution provided editors with greater freedom to create customized pages while pulling event and ticket data seamlessly. The new site delivered a more navigable and brand-appropriate experience for visitors. Furthermore, Manifesto's work provided the Southbank Centre with the flexibility to quickly adapt to event cancellations during the Covid-19 crisis by offering online broadcasts without requiring additional development.
