Become a Friend for 2026
Become a Friend of Proms at St Jude’s to enjoy priority booking and a range of other benefits.
As a Friend, you will be making a substantial contribution to help make the Festival more financially secure.Surplus funds after the Festival goto the charities we support.
As well as priority booking, all Friends can have their generosity acknowledged in our festival programme. Silver and Gold Friends and one guest are also invited to our launch reception and can enjoy our hospitality tent at the Festival on the evenings for which they have tickets. Gold Friends are provided with a complimentary copy of our Festival programme and have the chance to meet performers after concerts.
You can claim Gift Aid on all Friends memberships. The amount that can be claimed depends on the level of membership. If you are a UK taxpayer, please tick the Gift Aid box: this also allows us to claim 25p on every £1 of the membership fee eligible for this tax treatment. Gift Aid can also be claimed on Friends memberships as explained in the Chart. Higher rate taxpayers will be able to recover part of their Friend’s membership fees through Gift Aid by claiming it on their tax return.
So don’t delay – become a Friend now!!!
Note: To comply with HMRC requirements, a compulsory charge is included within the membership fee for Gold and Silver Friends to cover the cost of the benefits offered to them - specifically access to the hospitality tent. The balance, which qualifies for Gift Aid, is a donation to support the work of Proms at St Jude's. The breakdown for Gold Friends is £60 for hospitality and £240 donation or for Silver friends £50 hospitality and £125 donation.
Access to the hospitality tent without joining our friends scheme Friends Scheme is available for purchase separately. For such access or for more information please contact us via email: friends@promsatstjudes.org.uk.
