We’re a registered charity, and most of the ticket income we earn is paid directly to artists.
We’re very grateful to every single ticket buyer and hope you enjoy the events you attend with us. But we’d also ask you to consider giving us a little extra support. Our fundraising pays for a much wider programme of youth arts, community activity, artists residencies, schools’ projects, and more.
Your donation, however big or small, will make a difference. Thank you.
