Please support our fabulous neighbours at The Institute... and if you do, there's a cheeky 15% off of your pre-show dinner here with us!
Just show us your booking confirmation when you order.
It’s no secret that touring theatre productions and local arts venues across the UK are facing a really tough time right now. Between substantial cuts to funding from the Arts Council and local authorities, combined with skyrocketing running costs, just keeping the lights on has become a massive challenge for independent spaces like us.
We are incredibly passionate about what we do here at The Institute. Braintree deserves a vibrant arts and culture hub, and we want to ensure it stays here for generations to come.
But to do that, we need your help. Whether big or small, every bit of support keeps our doors open. Here is how you can back us right now:
🎟️ Book early if you can: We know it’s tempting to wait until the last minute, but advance ticket numbers gives visiting promoters the confidence to ensure shows can go ahead!
💸 Add a small donation to your ticket: You can easily add a little extra during checkout or via the donations button on our website. Even a tiny amount goes a long way.
🪑 Sponsor a seat: We are currently fundraising for a brand-new, state-of-the-art Auditoria seat system! Find out more here www.theinstitutebraintree.co.uk/takeaseat
🗣️ Spread the word: If you’ve had a great night out with us, please tell your friends, share our posts, or leave us a Google review. It’s completely free to do and helps us immensely.
We are so incredibly grateful for our community. Whether you’ve attended a live show, joined us for a World Cup screening, bought a round at the bar, or just booked for our upcoming cinema screenings—THANK YOU. We couldn't do this without you 💜
