SUPPORT US
The Yard is a theatre in Hackney Wick. We started in a warehouse fifteen years ago and built our reputation on new writing and performance that didn’t get made anywhere else, by artists nobody had heard of. A lot of them are the ones you've heard of now.
We've just opened a bigger theatre on the same spot. Twice the size, with bigger ambitions: more risks on new artists and new ideas, keeping prices as low as we can, and trusting the audience to build a new generation of talent with us.
We're a charity. Ticket sales cover about half of what it costs to run our programmes. The rest comes from people who decide to help us make our work. People like you.
Welcome.
MEMBERSHIPS
Never miss out.
As a Yard member, you get priority booking, pay no exchange fees, and get every fourth show free. Three ways in: a free Yard Card, Yard Regular at £60 a year, or Yard Resident at £150.
Your membership goes straight back into the work. New writers, new shows, the chances we take.
JOIN INNAME A SEAT
200 seats in the new building. Every one of them belongs to someone. £600 puts your name on one. £300 if you're under 40.
Ten years is a lot of theatre. New writing, big swings, the shows people will still be talking about a decade from now. Your seat sits through all of it.
Pick the one you'd sit in anyway, it’s got your name on it.
Name your seatPRODUCTION CIRCLE
Be in the room. Witness the moment a show finds its feet. With a gift of £1000 or more, you’ll follow one production from the inside: a small group of supporters, close to the artists, closer to the work. For our new season, you can support for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf, Lear, There's Something About Adam Black, and Mrs Dalloway.
Email our Development Manager, Sam at development@theyardtheatre.co.uk.
Something else in mind?
More is possible. You can support our work in other ways: funding a specific artist's work, multi-year commitments, legacy giving, corporate partnerships. There are so many ways to catalyse our impact.

““We reimagine theatre to reimagine the world” runs the mission-statement of The Yard in Hackney Wick. A grand claim. But weighing the evidence of the past 14 years, the vaunt seems amply justified.”
Dominic Cavendish - The Telegraph
