Support Us

The Theatre has been at the heart of the community in Chipping Norton for 50 years; bringing laughter, joy, original work and the arts to the Cotswolds.

Our wonderful community of supporters, Friends and Patrons make everything we do possible.

Supporting us keeps your independent theatre thriving and helps us to make the arts accessible to everyone.

Why we need your support

The Theatre in Chipping Norton is a registered charity and has been a home for arts and creativity in Chipping Norton for over 50 years.

As an independent mixed arts venue, we do not receive arts council funding and each year we fundraise to ensure we provide a creative and welcoming theatre which can benefit everyone in our community. We work hard to keep our ticket prices accessible, and provide opportunities to access, experience, create and work in the arts and theatre.

We also have real impact in our community through our extensive community programmes which aim to address some of the issues of rural poverty, isolation and poor mental health which impact many young people and families in our local area.

Your support is so important to us, thank you.

Playing our part in the community

Social Impact at The Theatre has a clear aim: to use the power of creativity to enrich lives. This is central to our purpose and at the core of everything we do.

We believe The Theatre is for everyone, and whilst we know the life-changing impact getting involved in the arts can have, we also know the arts can be hard to access.

You can find out more about the huge breadth and overwhelming impact of our community work on our Social Impact page.
