Name a Seat
Leeds Grand Theatre… where every seat tells a story.
Your seat, your story, your support.
November 2023 marks the 145th anniversary of The Grand entertaining the people of Leeds and the wider region. To celebrate, we’re making 145 seats available for people to remember the extraordinary moments you have shared with us by adding a unique message to one of our beautiful auditorium seats and becoming a part of our legacy.
We’ve all had that one moment – if you’re lucky, maybe more – that took our breath away when the house lights dimmed and the stage lights dazzled. Maybe it’s when Elphaba defied gravity, Valjean stormed the barricade, or The Nutcracker and Clara travelled to the Land of Sweets one magical Christmas Eve. Maybe it’s the people you came with that lingered long in your memory after the show stopped; be those friends, family, or that special person who shares your love of live performance.
Whatever the reason, follow the simple steps below and we’ll install a personalised plaque on a seat of your choice for just £145 for five years.
Legacy
We want to ensure that we are here for generations to come, as we have been for generations past. We have ambitious plans for our future, be that programming, education, or sustainability. These plans can only be lived with the support of our audiences.
