Have you thought about leaving our arts charity a gift in your will?
Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival holds a special place in the hearts of many. Maybe you went to your first gig here, saw some spectacular circus during the Festival or have magical memories of one of our Christmas shows?
Each year we present over 600 events from music to theatre, dance to comedy and literature to spoken word. Will you help us keep the arts alive for future generations by leaving us a legacy in your will?
Did you know that leaving a gift in your will to Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival could reduce the amount of inheritance tax you pay? You could leave a percentage of your estate to us without affecting the amount you give to your loved ones.
We have teamed up with Make a Will Online (MaWO) so that our supporters can make wills conveniently, quickly, and securely. Every will is checked by a solicitor, and you can get further peace of mind with a free Capacity Vault with every will you make, enabling you to protect the wishes in your will. As part of this partnership, we are offering ten free wills during October.
When you do this, we are told that a gift has kindly been pledged. That helps us enormously in our future planning.
Your data: When you make a will online using the above link, we find out about the gift you are leaving to us. You can opt in and share your contact details with us, too. This is all extremely useful to us because it means we can stay in touch with you. We recognise some supporters would prefer to keep this completely anonymous. You can do this by using this link to make an online will. Whatever way you choose to support us, we are extremely grateful!
Please make sure your solicitor uses our full details.

Clare Rogers, Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival Patron, tells us why she is leaving a gift in her Will:

“I was born in Brighton and fortunate to have so much theatre and arts in my hometown. Brighton Festival in May just brings the city to life. My favourite memory must be meeting Vanessa Redgrave at a dinner for patrons, when she was a guest Festival director. I love film and theatre, and she’s a complete legend!
When making my Will I was asked by my solicitor if I wanted to leave money to charity. It really made me think of the charities I support now, in life. It made sense to leave something to Brighton Dome & Festival as I’ve had many years of pleasure from the arts.”
