Pay It Forward

Help us raise some smiles this christmas!

A trip to the Northcott at Christmas has become a tradition for Devon families. But for some, it’s a treat they can’t afford. Thanks to the kind donations of our audiences, we partner with local charities and community organisations every year to gift free tickets to young people and families who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go.

Last year over 2,000 of you helped us raise over £12,000 and gift nearly 600 tickets to young people and their families through charities and community organisations, such as Children’s Hospice South West, Young Devon, LiveWest, Balloons and Devon Foster Carer’s Association. This year we ‘re aiming even higher – please give what you can and help us gift 650 tickets to families and young people for whom a trip to the theatre would be just a dream without your help. We are delighted to be gifting tickets for Sleeping Beauty and our Christmas show for little ones at the Barnfield, yet to be announced, extending the experience to include children as young as 3 years old.

Made by Exeter Northcott Theatre. Sleeping Beauty text in swirly metallic gold and red block lettering. Lots of sparkles are bursting out from behind the title. A cartoon-style cheeky looking dragon has its tail wrapped around a castle. The background is grassy green with foggy hills. the horizon transitions from bright yellow into orange, to a deep red colour.
A young girl wearing a blue and white-coloured hoodie leans forward onto a red theatre seat. She is resting he head on her crossed arms, and is looking up and smiling at what is happening off-camera on stage. She is surrounded by other young people, also engaged with what is happening off-camera on stage.

Oh my goodness, the joy I felt just watching those children just be children they were totally lost in the moment… amazing!

Some members of our groups experience a lot of difficulties, so to hear them say they hadn’t laughed that much in ages was really significant.

“A fantastic time was had by everyone at Balloons, what a great performance, the production was fabulous!  It is such a gift to give bereaved families the opportunity to forget their grief and experience a couple of hours of pure joy and magic!”
