As you may know, The Octagon is a registered charity. We are incredibly grateful for the funding we receive, and to you - our amazing audiences for continuing to support by buying tickets. However, this income alone doesn't cover the cost of creating magical worlds on our stages and providing opportunities for everybody to take part in the arts. Like all charities, we must fundraise all year to make this happen.

We believe every young person in Bolton should have the opportunity to experience live theatre. However, there are sadly many children and families across Bolton who experience boundaries to sharing in these experiences. We are determined to change this, and you can help by donating to our festive appeal.

All donations will go towards creating more opportunities for young people and families next year – from providing affordable tickets for performances to free creative activities such as storytelling and our annual family festival. Your contribution, not matter the amount, can have the biggest impact on the people of Bolton, so please give whatever you can to help us share the magic!

Thank you!
