There aren’t many nutcases who give away free tickets for theatre – so get involved!

    This is a great way of having a night out on the cheap after the expense of Christmas - a fab scheme!

  • Rebekah

    I had free tickets to take myself sister and my two kids to the churchill theatre in bromley, London.... We saw Sleeping Beauty and had a brilliant time!

  • Rachel

    thankyou SO much for this scheme! I've enjoyed 4 plays for free before I sadly turn 26 (really am quite gutted, WHY didnt I discover it sooner I ask myself?!)
