Leave a legacy

Remember us in your Will

By remembering Play to the Crowd in your Will, you can help ensure that arts and culture in Winchester continue to thrive for generations to come.

Every gift, large or small, makes a meaningful difference and helps us continue bringing creativity, connection, and live performance to our communities.

There are several ways you can choose to leave a gift:

• A share of your estate (known as a residuary gift). Even leaving a small percentage, such as 0.1% of your estate, while your loved ones inherit the remaining 99.9%, could make a significant impact.
• A specific sum of money (a pecuniary or cash gift).
• A particular item, such as property, jewellery, or valuable possessions.

Leaving a gift to charity can sometimes reduce the amount of tax payable on your estate, so we recommend speaking with a trusted professional advisor who can help you decide the best option for you and support you in writing or updating your Will.

To include Play to the Crowd in your Will, please use the following details:

• Charity Name: Play to the Crowd
• Address: Theatre Royal Winchester, Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB
• Registered Charity Number: 1077139

You don't need to let us know if you've chosen to leave a gift to Play to the Crowd in your Will, but if you do, we'd love the opportunity to thank you personally and keep you updated on the difference your generosity will make for future generations.

Name a seat

"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

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.
