Become a Patron

Becoming a Patron helps your beloved Theatre thrive. 

Do you know the feeling of watching a show you really connect with? Or being part of a workshop that makes you feel connected to everyone in the room? By becoming a Patron of the Theatre, you are helping to bring that sense of joy and connection to you, your friends, family and fellow Chippy Theatre-lovers. Your membership money will help keep your beloved Theatre going, and able to share the joy of the Arts. You can help bring music, drama, cinema, comedy, art and a huge range of Take Part activities to people of all ages and from all walks of life. Every penny helps to share the magic of the Arts to Chipping Norton and beyond.
