Give the gift of theatre
We know that for many people, this time of year includes thinking about gifts. Whether that’s something for that hard–to–buy–for friend who has everything, your ‘too cool for anything’ niece, or a special something for your partner when you’ve run out of ideas – we’ve got something slightly different that might just fit the bill. We have a great range of gifts which will stretch far beyond the festive season, allowing you to enjoy the magic of theatre all year round.
Give an experience
Whether you’re thinking of your film-obsessed brother-in-law or your comedy-loving sister, there’s something for everyone. A Leeds Heritage Theatres voucher lasts for one year and can be used across all three of our venues. Print it, pop it in a card, wrap it up or email it on the day – that’s one job taken care of.
Give a membership
Know a film fan? Hyde Park Picture House memberships make it even easier to experience a diverse range of cinema. Or if they’re inspired by theatre, music, comedy and more, then a Leeds Heritage Theatres membership offers a range of benefits including priority booking and discounts.
Celebrate a moment
Leave a lasting mark this wintertime with your name, or that of a friend or family member, on the iconic red velvet seats across our two city centre venues. Sponsoring a seat helps ensure these special moments will be cherished for generations to come.
Something to unwrap
From mugs and tote bags to prints and more, our unique artist-led range offers something a little different – the perfect way to find what you’re looking for while supporting local talent.
