Help Us To Future-Proof Exeter Phoenix

In February we announced an Arts Council grant of £320,000 awarded to Exeter Phoenix for structural changes that would result in better facilities that offer more to our visitors.

At a time when the future of the arts is under threat, this project is designed to future-proof the organisation by allowing us to invest in facilities which will increase arts activity and enable us to operate on a financially self-sufficient model.

The building works currently taking place will:

• Provide us with a new 92 seat balcony in our main auditorium
• Transform a disused roof space into an outdoor bar and hospitality area
• Create an enlarged computer training suite
• Build a new, solar powered, 74 seat digital cinema

Three Ways You Can Help

A requirement of our grant is that we raise a percentage of the overall costs from elsewhere. So far we’ve raised, or have pending confirmation of, nearly £80,000 of further funding. Now, in the final stages, we are looking to our audiences to help us cross the finish line.

Taking a moment to do even just one of the below will make a big difference. Thank you.
