As a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of our givers. Our Supporters are a core part of our community without whom we simply wouldn’t be able to survive.
Our Supporter Scheme is perfect for anybody who wants to get closer to the work we stage at the Gate. We’ll give you the opportunity to be an exclusive part of our theatre community and you’ll be helping to pave the way for exceptional and engaging programming.
