We’re fundraising to celebrate the Theatre’s 65^th Birthday with a refreshing facelift for artists, participants and audiences alike.

QNew will help us make better theatre, work with extra young people and community groups, offer an increasingly comfortable experience to audiences, be more open and accessible to D/deaf and disabled people, and keep the Theatre alive as a safe and environmentally friendly space, well into the future.

The projects we’ll deliver through 2019 will include:

• Equipping a new dedicated rehearsal facility on site for the first time in the Theatre’s history
• Dedicating a bespoke new space for the Theatre’s expanding range of learning and participatory work with the local community
• Creating a special room for local and regional artists to try out new ideas
• Moving the lower level Bar creating a new look ground floor Bar to complement the busy Café
• Making Front of House and backstage much more accessible to D/deaf and disabled people
• Replacing/upgrading outdated equipment so that it’s cheaper and safer to run
• Installing better air conditioning in the foyer so everyone can be comfortable all year round
• Ensuring the roof and exterior of the Theatre are weatherproofed for the future

QNew Transformation will cost in the region of £1,000,000. We’re seeking to raise this sum, which will make such a huge difference to the work of Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, from a variety of public and private sources. Contributions via the QNew Transformation fee should generate in the region of £100,000, an essential 10% of the total project cost, and invaluable to matching funding raised from elsewhere
