Plans for the Rose

At present two thirds of the original foundations have been excavated and protected for future generations to experience. The Rose Theatre Trust is now engaged in raising funds to excavate the remaining third and to make the site a permanent display as an educational and historical resource for the public to learn from and enjoy.

How you can help

By becoming a Friend of The Rose you will become part of the greatest discovery the British Theatre has ever known. Not simply by donating money (which of course we need!) but also by involvement in the future excavation work and in turning the site into a permanent exhibition. Find out about becoming a Friend.

We are also looking for corporate investors and sponsorship arrangements. Find out about becoming an investor here.
