Urgent support needed – help us raise £30,000 to continue our work

We’re working to raise £30,000, as part of a major fundraising campaign to keep MAYK’s work thriving and continue bringing unique, inspiring experiences to Bristol. Your support is more important than ever.

Why your support matters

As a registered charity, we believe in the transformative power of theatre to reshape our understanding of the world. By collaborating with visionary artists, we create ambitious and meaningful experiences that resonate deeply with our audiences.

But we can’t do it alone. Our work thrives on the generosity of funders and supporters like you. Ticket sales only cover a small fraction of our event costs.

Your support is crucial in helping us bridge the gap, allowing us to continue empowering artists and bringing their work to life. Join us in making a difference today.

“Thank you for this beautiful experience. So precious, so inspiring. I will remember for the rest of my life” Audience member, Mayfest 2024

“So moved. So glad I came. A re-awakening. Inspired. Challenged. Moved. Feeling so grateful to have access to this. Very touching. Thank you to everyone involved. What an honour” Audience member, Mayfest 2024

Every donation counts. Help us reach our goal and keep MAYK’s work thriving.
