British Cosy Hours

Sponsor an hour

One sponsor at a time. No banners, no pop-ups and no adverts in the sound: a painted sign and a line of thanks, in a room people leave open for hours.

What you get

  • Your name in the line under the mixer on every page, linked to you: “This hour at The Kettle & Rain is kept warm by …”
  • A painted sign in the inn window on the home page, drawn for you in the style of the place.
  • A line of thanks on the About page for as long as you are the sponsor.
  • The site to yourself. There is one sponsor at a time, and no other advertising of any kind.

Who it suits

People come here to sleep, read and work with the rain on. A sponsor should belong in that room: tea and coffee, candles, books and bookshops, knitwear and blankets, stationery, inns and bed-and-breakfasts, and anything made for a quiet evening.

We turn down gambling, lending, anything that tracks our listeners and anything that needs to be loud.

The honest numbers

The site opened in November 2026. We have no audience figures to show you yet, and we will not invent any. For the same reason there is no rate card yet. Tell us what you make and we will send you a price for a month, with a plain count of visits from our cookieless analytics once there is one to give.

How it works

  • You write to us and tell us what you make.
  • We agree a month and a price, and write your line together.
  • Your sign goes up on the first of the month and comes down on the last, unless you stay.

We place no tracking pixels and pass on no data about listeners, because we do not collect any. Your link is an ordinary link.
