FAIRFIELD HALLS
50 at 50 Campaign
Be Part of Fairfield’s Future
Be Part of Fairfield’s Future In 2012 Fairfield Halls will be 50 years old. We are looking for 50 local companies and organisations to make a donation of £1000 to help us celebrate 50 years of service to Croydon and the arts. This support will enable us to share the celebrations with the community as we stage special exhibitions and events throughout the year. Fairfield Halls has been at the centre of Croydon life for 50 years. Since the Queen Mother opened the building in 1962, some of the greatest stars of music, variety, comedy, opera and theatre have graced Fairfield’s stages and it is a venue of national and cultural importance. Looking ahead, with the help of a one-off capital grant from Croydon Council, we will be fully refurbishing the buildings over the next few years. This will make sure that Fairfield can play its part for many years to come. We welcome more than 500,000 people to over 500 performances and events every year, including 100,000 children and young people. Very few people realise that Fairfield Halls is not run by Croydon Council but is an independent not-forprofit organisation and a registered charity (Registered Charity Number: 1026483). It costs £11,780 a day to run Fairfield Halls and only 17% of our turnover comes from government funding. The rest has to be raised through our activities and through fundraising. Join the 50 at 50 Campaign and help us continue to provide the people of Croydon and beyond with a world-class arts facility.
