It has never been easier to support Derby Theatre as a Friend.

You can sign up online or by contacting our friendly box office team. Our Friends memberships are set up to automatically renew each year.

Auto-renew memberships link to your card instead of your bank account. This makes payments faster and the renewal process far easier – so you can continue to support and enjoy great benefits with no hassle!  

You can continue to renew your membership on an annual basis if you prefer. Untick the auto-renewal option at the point of purchase online or speak to a member of the team.

You can become a Friend of Derby Theatre at any time. Memberships last for 12 months from the point of purchase and will be automatically renewed annually (depending on which option you pick) ensuring there is no break in your benefits.

You will receive notification approx. 1 month before your membership is due to be renewed and an attempt will be made to take payment approx. 5 days before your membership expiry date.

If you would like to gift a Friends membership to a loved one, simply fill out our online Gift Voucher form.
