About
With thanks to the hundreds of people who have been supporting us through donations on our own website and through the #SaveOurTheatre campaign in conjunction with Crowdfunder, the Babbacombe Theatre in Torquay can re-open once lockdown 3 can end. KEEP EVERYTHING CROSSED we even have a more wonderful shows for you during 2021!
All immediate shows are being rescheduled so please check our website for details. Having taken over the Babbacombe Theatre to save it from closure in 1986 it would be unthinkable that this crisis will now see the end of this iconic venue. We are totally unsubsidised and get no financial support from the Council, Government, Arts Council or Lottery and rely on the success of our own productions and touring shows, which with our dedicated team has seen us through difficult times.
However, to remain in business when this situation is over, we ask not only for your understanding as we reschedule shows, but that you consider donating if you feel inclined to support us in that way. If you so wish to donate you can do so via the Restoration Fund page on our website, accessible via this link https://babbacombe-theatre.ticketsolve.com/products/donation
