What is happening & when?

In the summer of 2013 two months of building work will commence on the Theatre’s foyer. The foyer will be extended out toward the road.

Why are we doing it?

The Mayflower Theatre has been standing on its present site since 1927. At present our 84 year old foyer no longer meets the modern needs of The Mayflower. We are a Charitable Trust and committed to providing high quality performances and customer service within the best possible surroundings, this is why we need to extend.

The project will cost an estimated £500,000

The theatre is able to cover some of the cost of this development however as we are a Charitable Trust our reserves are limited and we need your support. We have survived by good management and the support of the booking fee you pay when you buy tickets. The vast majority of our ticket income goes to the producers of our touring product which fund their productions.

What will it look like?

Below are some some conceptual images of how the new foyer will look.
