Friends of Shakespeare’s Church benefit from:

  • Regular newsletters (by email)
  • Programme of talks - online and in-person - and Friends events in the Church
  • Priority booking for ticketed events
  • Invitations to exclusive Friends events e.g. behind the scenes tours to parts of the Church not normally open to the public and to on-going projects
  • Invitation to AGM / Friends’ Day
  • Access to exclusive content for Friends on our website
  • And for new members, the offer of a special tour of the Church, on joining.

Why do we need Friends?

The age and size of this magnificent Grade 1 listed building means that a significant amount of money is required for its upkeep. Continual repair work is needed to maintain the Church as a special part of the community with its historic importance. There is a long 'shopping list'.

A healthy membership will...

  • Provide the income needed for restoration projects.
  • Help to preserve the historic relevance of the site.
  • Increase the number of legacies to Holy Trinity, with the specific intent that money should go towards restoration and maintenance work.
  • Enable the Friends to put in place an on-going maintenance programme
Above all, with your help as a Friend, we can ensure that Shakespeare's Church is preserved for the future generations to come!
