Community theatre group bookings & fundraising

Community theatre group bookings that raise £10 per place.

Skovan helps schools, clubs, CICs and local communities raise funds through organised West End group bookings.

We arrange strong-value theatre opportunities where the offer makes clear sense compared with booking equivalent seats individually. Supporters book through a dedicated event link, with the seating area, total price, minimum booking requirement and £10 community contribution clearly explained before payment.

The model

A better offer than simply asking for donations.


Fundraising is hard. Asking people for another £10 donation is even harder.

Skovan gives your community something easier to share: an organised theatre group booking for a real night out. Supporters book through your dedicated event page, the seating area and price are stated clearly for that event, and £10 from every place goes back to your cause.

Good-value group places, £10 raised per place and a community night out in one.

Price clarity

Clear pricing before anyone books.

The £10 cause contribution is included in the price shown for each event. It is not added on top at checkout.

Each event page should explain what the total price includes: the theatre group place cost, the Skovan coordination/admin fee and the £10 PTA or community contribution.

Your community does not pay upfront. Supporters book their own places through the dedicated event link, so organisers are not left collecting money or carrying risk of carrying unsold places.

30places = £300 raised
50places = £500 raised
100places = £1,000 raised
200places = £2,000 raised
Based on £10 raised per place. Final capacity, seating area and availability depend on the show, date and supplier confirmation.
How it works

Four simple steps


1

Set your fundraising target

Tell us your target and how many places you think your supporters could realistically fill. There is no upfront cost for your community and no risk of carrying unsold places for organisers.

2

We arrange a suitable group booking

Skovan requests or arranges selected group places for a suitable theatre event. The exact seating area, price, supplier status and minimum requirement are stated on the event page, because availability can vary by show and date.

3

Share your dedicated link

Supporters book their own places directly through your event link. You can share it with members, parents, friends, relatives, colleagues and local supporters.

Frequently asked questions


Do Skovan places always offer a saving?

Not always, and we do not claim that for every show or date. Skovan aims to arrange good-value group places where available. Group pricing may offer a saving compared with equivalent individual bookings, depending on show, date and availability. Each event page should show the total price before anyone books.

How does Skovan fundraising work?

Skovan creates a dedicated event page for your school, club, CIC, community project or local cause. Supporters book places in a Skovan-organised community theatre group booking through that link, and £10 from every place goes back to your cause after the event.

Is Skovan the theatre or the ticket issuer?

No. Skovan is not the theatre, producer, venue operator or official ticket issuer. Skovan acts as the booking and administration organiser for community group bookings. Theatre, venue and supplier terms still apply.

Is the £10 contribution added at checkout?

No. The £10 cause contribution is included in the price shown for that event. Supporters do not pay an extra £10 at checkout.

What kind of seating do people get?

Each event page explains the requested or confirmed seating area clearly. Skovan aims to arrange selected group places in good seating areas, but the exact allocation depends on the show, date, availability and supplier confirmation.

Who can we share the booking link with?

You can share your dedicated link with your community, parents, members, friends, relatives, colleagues and local supporters. Every place booked through your link raises £10 for your cause.

Can this be a one-off event?

Yes. Skovan can support one one-off theatre night for a specific fundraising need.

Can this be seasonal?

Yes. Some communities may want regular fundraising nights across autumn, winter, spring and summer. Others may only need one event. Both are possible.

How much could we raise?

The contribution is based on £10 per place. For example, 30 places raise £300, 50 places raise £500, 100 places raise £1,000, and 200 places raise £2,000. Final capacity depends on show, date and supplier confirmation.

Does our community need to pay upfront?

No. There is no upfront cost for the community. Supporters book and pay for their own places through the dedicated event link, so organisers are not left carrying risk of carrying unsold places.

What happens if not enough places are booked?

Each event has a minimum booking requirement. If the minimum is not reached by the deadline, the event does not proceed and payments are refunded according to the booking policy.

Who handles payments and admin?

Skovan handles the booking page, payments, seating coordination, booking records and event communication, so organisers do not need to collect money or manage spreadsheets.

When does the cause receive the money?

After the event, Skovan provides a clear summary showing how many places were booked and how much was raised, then transfers the agreed contribution to the relevant fund or organisation.

Can children attend?

Some Skovan events are suitable for families and children, but this depends on the show’s age guidance. Each event page will make this clear.

Can people sit together?

Skovan arranges seating thoughtfully where possible. Families, friends or related bookings can add a note when booking, but exact seating requests cannot always be guaranteed.

Is this a donation or Gift Aid?

No. This is not a Gift Aid donation or direct grant. It is a fundraising model where £10 from each place booked through your dedicated link goes back to your cause.
