Donate
We’re aiming to raise £20,000 through public donations. This money will go towards supporting our future as an arts organisation and a valued local charity.
With your help, we can look forward to returning stronger than ever in 2021 and once again support the local economy by bringing joyous, life-affirming productions to our community.

Where your donation goes…
We are a registered charity (no: 1166020). We provide people in the region with an opportunity to engage with theatre in a levelling and accessible environment.
The day-to-day running of the theatre relies mostly on volunteers, including: a front of house team, a small managerial team, and a volunteer board of directors. The theatre’s output however, is reliant on a limited team of paid staff. Your donations will help us to support these staff and in turn, ensure that the theatre can continue to deliver high quality productions.
What your donation does…
Your donation allows us to do four things:
- Ensure we can continue to deliver exciting and community-valued theatre
- Support the employment of our small-but-essential team of staff
- Engage local arts freelancers who are struggling during the pandemic
- Cover some of the building’s rent and upkeep during closure.
Help share the message…
To help get our message out we’ve created a selection of images that we’d love to see shared on social media – don’t forget to use the hashtag #donate2ERT
Other ways you can help us…
You can also help the theatre by buying a gift voucher or becoming a ‘friend of the theatre’.
You can do each of these by visiting our ‘Support Us’ page, or by clicking the button below.
