Following Government and UK Theatre guidance issued on 16 March, Theatre Royal Wakefield has taken the decision to temporarily close shows to the public. The café and box office will remain open. At present staff are unsure how long this closure will last but for now all shows until Saturday 28 March will not go ahead. They will keep everyone updated by email and on our website and social media channels.
Theatre Royal Wakefield is a small theatre that relies heavily on local support. The support we get from their Corporate Partners, sponsors and advertisers is always vital but in the current situation they appeal to you. "We are a charity, as you all know and do not receive any public money, having to close our door will throw up challenges."
At this challenging time, they really need your support and help. Here are ways you can help;
Renew your membership or sponsorship
Upgrade your membership
Pay outstanding invoices
If you can, make a donation
This is a fast changing situation and I know we are all concerned but let’s stick together. Customers are feeding back how much the theatre valued and an important part of Wakefield. You support this time will highlight you and your business as one that cares for Wakefield and its community.
The theatre are asking customers to consider the possibility of donating the cost of your ticket to help keep the theatre afloat in these most unusual of circumstances, they appeal to you to do the same with any tickets booked. Theatre Royal Wakefield prides its self at being at the heart of the community and this has been shown by the support they have been given by local people, they are working hard to keep it this way.
