TTT Patrons
Small theatre, big impact.
The Tom Thumb is a people-powered Theatre, with the local community at the heart of everything we do. We need your help to shape our future. We want to ensure the long-term sustainability of Tom Thumb as your home for new and exciting performances in Margate.
Why Do We Need Patrons?
-
Accessible Ticket Prices
We're one of the tiniest theatres in the UK, so there is a limit on how much we can generate from ticket sales. We really want to keep our ticket prices affordable and make sure our shows are accessible for all.
-
Support New Performance
We are a laboratory for artists to experiment and take risks. We recognise that it’s now harder than ever for new performance development. We want to ensure more artists can have the opportunity to create bold and experimental work at the Tom Thumb Theatre.
-
Inclusive Programming
Help us expand our support for Margates diverse creative community by ensuring we can continue to offer a safe and welcoming space for all, where differences are nurtured and celebrated.
-
The Building
Our beloved iconic building, built in 1896 requires a substantial amount of maintenance. We understand its crucial role in Margate's history, and want to do everything we can to ensure the lasting legacy of its unique architectural heritage.
-
Here For The Community
We love Margate and the many community groups doing important work within it. Help us to continue to offer the Tom Thumb Threatre as a space for them to create.
-
Secure Our Future
The Tom Thumb Theatre is currently reliant on fluctuating bar sales and sporadic arts funding. This makes any long term business planning challenging. We need your help to secure our stability in an unstable economic and artistic climate.
