Love Your Local Theatre scheme to provide free £25 vouchers for National Lottery players

Update: All tokens have been claimed. Sign up to our newsletters to hear about more schemes like this.

Today, on World Theatre Day, the National Lottery has announced that the Love Your Local Theatre campaign will return for a second year running.

The Love Your Local Theatre campaign aims to encourage the public to support their local theatres by providing a money-off voucher. The campaign has the support of 300 theatres UK-wide and provides National Lottery players with the opportunity to claim a £25 voucher to use in the theatres this spring.

Adam Chataway, head of brand partnerships at the National Lottery, said: “It’s been a tough few years for the theatre industry with covid and with the cost of living crisis impacting theatre attendance. The UK has some of the most iconic theatres in the world, so it’s important that we continue to support the arts. National Lottery players raise £30 million a week to help fund Good Causes, including the arts sector.

“Through the launch of Love Your Local Theatre, we can support theatres even further by encouraging National Lottery players to get out and experience some amazing shows.”

Actress and singer Alexandra Burke, who supports the scheme, added: “I count my blessings to have spent so much time in these wonderful theatres around the UK on tour so I’m immensely proud to support the Love Your Local Theatre campaign. Theatre can have such an important impact on lives, I always say that it’s an escapism for all those involved where you forget all your troubles and worries for a few hours.

“It’s very important to attend our local theatres so we can continue to enjoy an array of arts but also ensure that our local theatres can continue to remain open for many years to come and provide jobs and opportunities for so many individuals. It’s incredible seeing the work the National Lottery is doing in order to support theatres and with these vouchers, more people can attend their local theatre who wouldn’t have been able to before.”

The Love Your Local Theatre £25 voucher can be claimed by National Lottery ticket or Scratchcard holders from 10am on the 27 March. Simply enter the reference number from a National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard, or Instant Win Game purchased since 1 January 2023 to receive the £25 voucher.

The theatre voucher must be used within three weeks of being claimed but can be spent on any performance on sale, including shows later in the year like pantos.

This campaign has been made possible through a partnership with Society of London Theatre and UK Theatre.
