Upcoming Patrons Events

All of our Patrons are invited to a series of exclusive Patrons' Events.

All our Patrons are invited to a range of exciting events where they can learn more about our creative processes, our ground-breaking education work and how their support directly impacts the RSC and our communities.

We have just announced a series of events alongside our Stratford-upon-Avon Winter season, around The Box of Delights in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and The Fair Maid of the West in the Swan Theatre.

To become a Patron, or if you have any questions, please contact the Individual Giving Team via Patron@rsc.org.uk.
