""

Barbican Patrons champion international programming, bold commissions and opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to access world-class arts for free.

Our Patrons help us keep our programme accessible to everyone, allowing us to continue investing in the artists and communities we work with, all while celebrating their love of the arts through closer engagement with our programme. 

The support of our Patrons has never been so crucial. As well as sustaining and enabling our international artistic programme, Patrons help keep our programme open and accessible to all. 

In grateful recognition of your support, we offer a range of benefits to help you make the most of our programme. These include priority booking, access to tickets for sold-out performances and exclusive event invitations.
