THE ASK

Omnibus Theatre is more than bricks and mortar — it’s a cultural lifeline.

We receive no core funding and have launched an online auction to reach our £50,000 target. Your support will:

• Maintain our historic building

• Keep tickets inclusive

• Fund new writing and emerging talent

• Power outreach and youth programmes

Our History

Omnibus Theatre is an award-winning independent theatre and registered charity, proudly located in the heart of Clapham, London. In 2013, we opened our doors following a seven-year, community-led campaign that saved the historic 1889 Clapham Library. £130,000 was raised and 2,000 volunteers rallied to transform the building into a theatre for all the community. We now offer over 3,000 free arts activities every year and, in 2025, received royal patronage from the Duke of Edinburgh — the only Fringe Theatre in London to do so.

Our Work

Omnibus champions accessible, inclusive, and high-quality performances.
