Donating

Your donation makes a difference!

Hanger Farm is more than just a venue – it’s a vibrant hub of creativity, community, and opportunity. By donating, you’re not only helping us preserve the charm and history of this beautiful space but also ensuring that it remains a place where everyone in our community can come together to create, celebrate, and connect.

We offer two ways to contribute to our work:

Restoration fund

Our Restoration Fund supports vital improvements to care for and improve our much loved venue. An optional £1 donation on each booking, alongside fundraising events, helps us keep Hanger Farm welcoming for everyone.

Thanks to the generosity of our audiences and supporters, the Restoration Fund is already making a visible difference across Hanger Farm. Here’s what we’ve been working on.

What we've achieved:

We’ve invested in new, accessible staging, giving more flexible equipment to work with. This means that our brilliant apprentices can help to set up for shows.

It’s already making a real difference behind the scenes, so a big thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.

 

Our August 2025 fundraiser raised funds to replace our old lighting to sustainable, LED lighting.
This change will help reduce energy use and running costs, meaning more of our income can go back into maintaining and improving the building.

What's Next?

The Restoration Fund is now focused on replacing our auditorium seating. We’ll be renewing the full chair mechanism, creating thicker, more comfortable seats for everyone.

We plan to replace seats one or two rows at a time, helping us make steady progress while keeping the venue open and welcoming.

All charity events this year, along with the £1 booking donation, will go directly towards replacing the seats until the full auditorium has been upgraded.

Minstead Trust

In partnership with Minstead Trust, your donations also help us to take on more supported apprentices, providing employment training and supporting them into permanent roles with other local emploers. Your generosity empowers others, creating a lasting impact that goes beyond our walls.
