Dedicate a seat at the Festival Theatre

Join the ranks of Stephen Fry, Michael Palin and Bill Murray with a seat dedication at the Festival Theatre – a unique and thoughtful gift for any theatre lover. 

It’s more than just a seat - it's memories of enjoyable evenings spent with family and friends, and showing your support for one of Edinburgh’s best-loved theatres.

The plaque with your name or dedication will last for ten years.

A Christmas fit for a King

For anyone who holds a special place in their heart for the wonderful King’s Theatre, there’s also a chance to buy a seat or name a step for a loved one in the redeveloped theatre, with all proceeds from these dedications going specifically to the King's Campaign.

Name a step

Join our journey by donating to name a step in the new King’s Theatre with all the proceeds going towards its transformation. A great gift to celebrate your family’s connection to the King’s.

A key part of the King’s Theatre redevelopment will be the creation of two lifts granting access to all levels of the theatre to everyone for the very first time. These lifts will be accompanied by two new staircases and you can name one of these new steps and help us towards our goal of £25 million.

Buy a seat

Do you have a favourite seat at the King’s from which to cheer the Dame or boo the Panto baddy? Donate to have your or a loved one’s name on a seat at the King’s for the next thirty years and help us transform the theatre for the enjoyment of generations to come.
