The Theatres Trust administers the Theatres Protection Fund scheme, which provides funds to theatres in need and at risk. Theatres on the ‘Heritage at Risk’ Register are also able to apply for repair grants provided by Historic England.

In addition, the Heritage Lottery Fund may also be able to fund wider projects relating to theatres, which could cover restoration costs.
