How it works

Adopt your seat online or by phone

Adopting a seat costs £300 for three years, or £270 if you’re a Northcott Member.

We’re also offering seats to businesses for £500.

Fill out our online form below, or if you’d prefer to speak to someone, please call us on 01392 72 63 63.

We’ll contact you within 72 hours to confirm your seat choice and message.

There’s a couple of things to note:

• Your message must contain no more than 40 characters.
• You can choose your preferred seat to adopt but you won’t necessarily be able to book your adopted seat for every show as it will be available for others to book as usual.

We’ll then arrange for your plaque to be made and attached to your chosen seat. We’ll let you know when the plaque is in place and your adoption period has begun.

We’ll send you a certificate of adoption and your chosen message and also invite you to a special event in the first year.

Lastly, we’ll get in touch towards the end of the three-year period to discuss renewal options.

Thank you for your kind support!
