Double the Magic is an annual fundraising campaign where donations from the public are doubled – this year thanks to the generous support of the Backstage Trust.

From 1 October to 15 October, every donation is matched pound for pound. Whether you give £10 or £500, it instantly doubles. You can donate now directly below, or add a donation when you’re booking tickets for any of our upcoming shows.

In 2025, Double the Magic is dedicated to breaking down financial barriers and providing free tickets to those who might otherwise be unable to experience the transformative power of live performance.

Support from nearly 7000 donors each year helps us to produce award-winning work on our stages, deliver over 60 participation projects annually and develop vibrant and inclusive communities across Nottinghamshire. As a charity (no. 1109342), we rely on supporters like you to bring world-class theatre to Nottingham. We simply wouldn’t be able to do it without you.

How to Donate

You can donate below or if you’d like to donate more than £250, we’d love for you to call our Box Office on 0115 941 9419 or email tickets@nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk so that a member of the team can thank you personally for your generous contribution.
