Join us in celebrating 40 Years Reimagined at Theatre Royal Wakefield with a very special selection of exclusive auction prizes.
These one‑of‑a‑kind experiences have been generously donated by brilliant partners, local makers, and friends of the theatre — and every bid helps us continue our work onstage, in schools, and across our communities.
Whether you're joining us at the Gala on Saturday night or supporting from afar, you can take part. Our online auction is now live, giving you the chance to browse all lots, place a bid, or submit an advance sealed bid before the event.
From private dining with celebrated chefs, to behind‑the‑scenes cultural experiences, to hand‑crafted Wakefield food and drink adventures — every prize offers something unforgettable.
All funds raised will support Theatre Royal Wakefield’s artistic work, youth programmes, accessible performances, and community outreach. Your generosity helps ensure we can continue inspiring audiences for the next 40 years and beyond.
✨ Live auction lots close at 5pm on Saturday.
✨ Online auction bidding remains open until 11:30pm on Saturday.
