The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre only survived the threat of closure in 1969 with the generous and committed support and donations of individuals.
We continue to rely on individuals to support us. If you would like to show your appreciation for and to support our work, you can make a one-off donation, join as a Member, Name a Seat or remember us in your will.
Our Members play a starring role in keeping the beating heart of the arts alive in Hammersmith. Members’ support creates our brilliant productions, opportunities for young people and access to the arts for everyone in West London.
Members get to meet the people who make all the Lyric magic happen, access to sold out shows, and fun events with likeminded theatre lovers. We really value all of our brilliant members, who make a difference to the quality and access to arts for all in West London.
As a thank you for your invaluable support, you will receive exclusive benefits only available to the Lyric family.

“When I unexpectedly arrived in a position to make a philanthropic donation, Hammersmith, with its dedication to the local community, was my choice. I could not be more delighted to be able to help. I have been made to feel part of the theatre and witness it first-hand give youngsters the programme and pricing to be the audience of the future.” – Lyric member.
