Beginning in May 2025, a small Theatre Levy will be included in the price of each ticket, helping to support the ongoing upkeep and improvement of our theatre home.

The Lyric Theatre is proud to be Northern Ireland’s only full-time producing theatre, a creative home where fresh stories are brought to life and new talent takes root. We’re also a hub for our community, and like any well-used space, our building needs regular upkeep to stay in great shape.

As we continue to grow and evolve, it’s important that our venue can grow with us. From essential maintenance to forward-looking improvements, this levy will help us look after our theatre and keep it ready for future generations of artists and audiences.

Every contribution, big or small, plays a part in making the Lyric a sustainable, welcoming, and inspiring space. In the short term, it means vital repairs. In the long term, it means a greener, more accessible theatre for everyone.

We’ll keep you updated with how these funds are being put to good use, with an annual update on our website.

Thank you for being part of our story and helping us keep the Lyric thriving. If you’d like to go even further in supporting our work, donations are always welcome and appreciated.
