Individual support

Name a seat

The most important moments don’t happen on the stage.

As one of the longest surviving cine variety theatres of its kind in the country, Theatre Royal Winchester has been at the cultural heart of Winchester’s community for over 100 years.

Celebrate your or a loved one’s love of the theatre by naming a seat and giving a gift to Play to the Crowd, allowing us to continue in our work to inspire those to connect with and participate in live performance.

By donating £500 to name a seat at Theatre Royal Winchester you will be part of our future.

Your seat will have a plaque engraved with a dedication of your choice and will be in place for ten years.

To name a seat, please contact:
becca@playtothecrowd.co.uk

“I supported Play to the Crowd by naming a seat at Theatre Royal Winchester. During the pandemic, we realised how close we were to losing these precious resources and how important it was to rally together. So thank you to everybody who donated to keep Theatre Royal Winchester alive!”

- Mark Watson, comedian
