Why choose Chickenshed?
Chickenshed believes in a society where everyone can flourish, and where we all belong.
For 50 years we’ve created bold and beautiful theatre and we want to continue to do this for the next 50 years. We feel very privileged to have our venue and our local community, and it’s our young people’s limitless belief that we can reach further, share more, and create bigger change, both nationally and globally.
This is their vision. Our members want to show what the world can be, and for this to happen we need to grow and reach out to more people. We currently need £3.8million a year to keep our doors open
£1.6million of this needs to be fundraised.
Your gift could play a role in subsidising some of this gap and helping build a better world.

How we can help
We understand that creating a will can be a daunting task, and there are many reasons why some of us delay it. While Chickenshed would love to offer a free will service to our supporters, regrettably, this comes at the expense of the charity.
Will Writing Providers
However, there are lots of providers out there, and we do have relationships with some local solicitors who will be happy to help you. We can also share with you the details of the UK’s largest Will writer who offers an extremely affordable service.
Information Pack
For more detailed information on what to consider when making a will, please download our leaflet or request to have it sent in the post.
We will be holding a number of legacy information events and drop-in clinics with our legal specialists. This is a free service and an excellent opportunity to raise any queries you may have. You can register your interest here:
