Buy a leaf
Support A Theatre For Tomorrow by naming a leaf on our new tree sculpture.
As part of our A Theatre For Tomorrow fundraising campaign to redevelop our building, we’re excited to have commissioned a new sculpture from our artist in residence, Barbara Hellowell.
The sculpture will be beautifully crafted using wire taking the form of a growing tree. Situated in our main entrance, the branches will spread out over the curved foyer wall, welcoming you into the building. Each wire weaved branch will expand out with individual leaves bearing engraved names.
Here is how you can be part of the Lawrence Batley Theatre’s history…
How to get involved
You can name a leaf on our tree by making a donation of £100 or more. Your dedication can be for the memory of a loved one, a gift for a friend or relative, or yourself. The chosen name will be engraved on a plaque which will be attached to one of Barbara’s beautiful wire leaves.
Donations can be made using the form below, simply choose the amount and let us know the name you would like engraved.
Your generous gift will allow us to breathe new life into our auditorium, renovate our backstage areas (including the creation of an accessible dressing room), create a brand new participation space, and more. We are grateful for your support in helping the Lawrence Batley Theatre become A Theatre For Tomorrow.
