Pay What You Decide

Theatre should be for everyone, and nobody should have to break the bank to experience the joy of performance.

Here at Shakespeare North, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the magic of live performances and events, without worrying about cost.

That’s why we’re excited to offer Pay What You Decide / PWYD tickets, which let you choose the price that’s right for you! Whether you’re a regular theatre-goer or looking to try something new, we welcome you to take a chance on one of our events with ticket prices starting at £5, going up to £30.

There are a limited number of Pay What You Decide / PWYD tickets on events throughout the venue. These tickets sell on a first come first served basis and are available to everyone. If you are a Prescot resident, there is an extra allocation of PWYD tickets for you.

If you’d like to support this scheme, please consider donating an amount of your choosing below.
