What your support means to us
Support from individuals is crucial to our success. Our members play an integral role in the theatre’s well-being and we look to reward them with great benefits, including savings on tickets and access to exclusive pre-sale periods.
Your membership will directly support the work of the theatre, both on stage and through our community projects, all of which are designed to encourage and support people of all ages.
“A theatre that will bring the treasures of the past to life and give unimaginable opportunities to the plays of the future.”
– Sir Peter Hall

Donor Friends
Please select:
An opportunity to support the theatre at £10 per month. We introduced Donor Friends in order to benefit from Gift Aid, which we cannot apply to our other Friend’s level Membership.
Donor Friends receive all the benefits of a Friend’s Membership plus invitations to special events and rehearsals.
Of your £120 Donor Friends gift we can subtract your ‘Friends’ Membership then the Government will add 25% Gift Aid on the remaining donation of £73, thus increasing the gift overall.
We also offer:
- Two tickets to opening nights, including guest reception, for Theatre Royal productions
Patrons

Patrons receive all Friends membership benefits (of your Patrons gift we subtract a ‘Friends’ membership then the Government will add 25% Gift Aid on the remaining donation thus increasing the gift overall.)
“Having spent many happy hours in its beautiful auditorium and on its marvellous stage, I urge you to support Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds for generations to enjoy.”
