Water is now leaking through the ceilings into both the Main Auditorium and The Theatre Upstairs.

Next Stage has kicked off the fundraising effort by donating £20,000, as you can see on our fundraising barometer. Now we are asking anyone who can to make a donation, large or small, to Raise the Roof! We desperately need your help to prevent any further water damage and preserve The Mission Theatre as a thriving performing arts venue for years to come.

There are five ways in which you can help us to Raise the Roof!:

1. Sponsor a Slate/s - £30 per slate
2. Become a Friend - £60
3. Make a Donation
4. Organise a Fundraising Event
5. Offer Matched Funding

Please click here to find out more about each of these ways to make a donation. Every penny will be gratefully received and acknowledged in our Heritage Book, to be permanently displayed at The Mission Theatre.

Announcing the launch of our fundraising appeal.

Next Stage Theatre Company, resident at The Mission Theatre, needs your help to raise £110,000 to replace both the pitched and flat roofs on our beautiful 250 year old Grade II listed ex-chapel.

We know that these are difficult and uncertain times for everyone, but these repairs are now a matter of urgency since the roofs have deteriorated with age, and over the last year this degradation has accelerated due to the theatre’s forced closure and lack of heating.

We will be sharing updates on our website, as well as over social media, and through the Raise the Roof! Barometer, and we would love for you to be a part of it.

Thank you so much in advance, from all of us at The Mission Theatre, for your generosity.
