In 1982, seating from the Grand Circle was sold and presumed lost forever. Forty years later, these unique chairs were rediscovered and offered back to the theatre.
When you sponsor a seat, you are helping us to secure our theatres future and to help with restoration.
From helping out at our Friday evening paranormal group, you can bring your unique skills to the venue and maybe find a new hobby or meet a new friend along the way.
We operate on a ‘more the merrier’ basis; anyone and everyone is welcome to help. All we ask is you have the willingness to get stuck in at a time to suit you.
This application form is for the Friends evening and weekend volunteering.

The Friends of the Winter Gardens are responsible for keeping the building and its memories alive, and anyone wanting to be a part of the venue’s future is encouraged to get in touch.
If you become part of our Restoration & Maintenance Group you will be helping to restore our historically important Grade II* Listed building.
Sponsoring a Seat means you are helping us to bring our Grand Circle back into use with the seats that were removed in 1982. This will increase the capacity of the theatre.
Joining the Friends means you will be kept up to date with all things Winter Gardens related. Your subscription helps to maintain and restore the building.
Helping at the theatre gives people from all walks of life the opportunity to contribute in whatever way suits them best for the benefit of this iconic landmark building.
Having Volunteers is vitally important to us as we have no paid staff. Volunteers run our Café, welcome visitors, run the Tours, provide support for events in the theatre and numerous other things.
We encourage people to donate to us as we receive no public funding. Donations large and small are vital to us in order to run and restore the theatre. We welcome legacy donations. We are registered for Gift Aid so if you are a UK Tax Payer this means we can claim an additional 25% of your donation from the Government.
