How we are funded
Read our 2022/23 Annual Report
Annual Report 2022/23“Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds is special. It’s a jewel-box of Georgian elegance, lovingly restored after its years as a brewery barrel-store. Equally importantly, it serves its Suffolk town and us around it with artistic energy, intelligence and stimulating comradeship.”
– Libby Purves
We are a Registered Charity and raise 18% of our income through fundraising. The Development Department raises this through: Memberships (our Patrons, Donor Friends and Friends schemes), Major Donations, Fundraising Events, Corporate Sponsorship and applications to Trusts and Foundations. On top of this annual requirement for core funding, we also raise money for projects to support our community and engagement work and education programmes.
