Support

Become a Friend

The greatest way to show support for the Regal, apart from coming to see the shows and having some fun, is to become a FRIEND OF THE REGAL. The Regal values highly the support and encouragement it receives from the Friends and in return offers them many concessions and benefits. The annual subscription entitles you to receive regular newsletters about activities, discounts on most tickets when booking in advance (usually 50p) and the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting the local community theatre! (Please note that membership of the Friends of the Regal is separate from Film Society Membership)

To become a friend, call at the box office and pick up an application form.

If you would like to get more involved in the everyday running of the theatre, please contact us, as new volunteers are always welcome!

Help us FINANCIALLY

The Regal receives no local, regional or central government support and, in line with all theatres, was hit hard by the pandemic. While we’re delighted to see audiences now returning with increased confidence, we do need help in making up the losses we incurred.  One way to support the Regal is via Local Giving – please visit our Local Giving site at https://localgiving.org/charity/regaltheatre or you can give directly via https://www.regalboxoffice.co.uk/make_donations.aspx ; thank you so much for your support.

The Regal is delighted to be supported by the Co-op Community Programme; help build our share of the fundraising ‘pot’ by ensuring your Co-op membership card is registered to show you support the Regal – see  https://www.coop.co.uk/membership
