ONE-OFF DONATION

Not many people know that The Barn Theatre is an unsubsidised charity and that we rely on the generosity of our supporters to fund our original productions, community work and free ticket schemes.

OUR FREE TICKET SCHEMES

PLAY IT FORWARD

This is our community initiative, developed to allow EVERYONE an opportunity to access quality theatre, regardless of income, health or age. Your donations to our Play it Forward scheme have funded thousands of theatre visits from isolated older people and local state schools. 

In 2024 we are expanding the initiative to include cancer patients and those suffering with chronic pain and mental health problems.

BIG NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH 

Starting in 2024, we are launching a new scheme called The Big Neighbourhood Watch, where we encourage our Barn community to bring a friend or neighbour, who wouldn’t otherwise be able to come to the theatre, to watch a show WITH THEM.  Perhaps an older person who lives alone, or a single parent who could do with a night off.  These ‘Big Neighbourhood Watch’ tickets will be available for £0 on our booking page, and valid Monday—Wednesday for the first three weeks of each show run. 

You can support The Big Neighbourhood Watch scheme by:

  • Bringing someone in need of some community support to a show, marked ‘Neighbour’ on our booking page
  • Telling your friends what we’re doing, in person and via social media  
  • Making a donation of one or more tickets to allow people most in need of a boost, to experience the magic of theatre

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

From bringing new people to theatre to launching creative careers and facilitating huge community events, here are just some of the ways that your contributions help make our community a better place.
