Ways to Donate
Mayflower 90 Auditorium Appeal
Our wonderful theatre comes to life when you, our treasured audience members are sat in the auditorium, and now it is in need of a major refurbishment programme to secure its future. The plans include:
Repainting the whole of the auditorium
Installing brand new seating in the Stalls and Circle
Moving the pit further under the stage
This work is essential not just to preserve the building, but to benefit the more than 500,000 people each year who enjoy visiting our theatre.

Seat Plaques
Become part of our heritage, secure your seat in history. Personalised seat plaques are a wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion or remember a loved one. Plaques are secured with a donation of £300 for five years or £500 for ten years.Learn More
Leave a Legacy
Our Grade II Listed building has stood in the heart of Southampton since 1928, providing entertainment to thousands of families across the region.
Your legacy gift will help to ensure that the theatre continues to delight and enhance our community for generations to come.
Making a gift to The Mayflower Theatre Trust is not only a wonderful way of benefiting the theatre but can also be useful for Inheritance Tax Planning, as sums left to a charity are exempt from Inheritance Tax. If you are considering a legacy, please obtain advice from your Solicitor.
Donate In Memory
Making a donation in someone's memory is a special way to celebrate their life. You could consider dedicating a seat plaque, placing your loved ones name on our theatre honours board or creating a memory page.
You can create an In Memory page on JustGiving, where you can tell the story of the person you're remembering - using words, photos and video - and explain why you're raising money in their memory. Your friends and family can contribute to your page easily, safely and securely. Together you can create a lasting tribute in memory of your loved one.
