Community Tickets

Bringing theatre to everyone in Oxfordshire

Do you work or volunteer for a charity or community group?

Does your organisation support people living in Oxfordshire?

Do those individuals face social or economic barriers that prevent them from coming to the theatre?

Every year, Oxford Playhouse pledges to give away up to 2,000 free tickets to local community groups and charities. This gives people who might find a trip to the theatre challenging the opportunity to experience our shows.

How the Community Tickets Scheme works

  • Who can join: Any charity or community group supporting individuals in Oxfordshire who would otherwise struggle to visit the theatre.
  • What you get: A limited number of free or heavily discounted tickets to selected performances.
  • Cost: Free!
  • Membership length: 3 years (then groups rejoin to keep details up to date).

This scheme is for community groups only. Schools interested in free ticket opportunities should contact our Take Part Team at learning@oxfordplayhouse.com.

Membership Guidelines

The small print
  1. All not-for-profit community groups and charities that serve individuals in the Oxfordshire area who do not have the resources to otherwise attend a show are invited to apply.
  2. Schools cannot apply for community tickets. If you would like to enquire about school opportunities, please email learning@oxfordplayhouse.com.
  3. Tickets are for specific performances only and are offered on a first come, first served basis. Tickets are for the designated performances only and cannot be exchanged. Tickets are limited and subject to availability.
  4. Oxford Playhouse will track ticket usage and groups must use at least 80% of the donated tickets in order to participate in future performances.
  5. Tickets cannot be resold or used as auction items at fundraising events. Reselling tickets will be grounds for disqualification. However, Oxford Playhouse also gives away tickets to be handed out as raffle prizes. For more information about this, please contact boxoffice@oxfordplayhouse.com.
