Subsidised Theatre Tickets

We're delighted to announce that our popular subsidised theatre ticket scheme is returning for 2026.

As ticket numbers are limited, employees will need to submit an application, and successful applicants will be selected at random. Winners will be offered two subsidised tickets for one of the participating venues (additional tickets may be purchased directly from the venue at the standard ticket price, subject to availability).

To find out more about the scheme and how to apply, please read the information below.
