The De La Warr Pavilion has been bringing communities together through culture for over 85 years.
A gift of any size in your Will or In Memory of a loved one will ensure the Pavilion remains open to all for generations to come, a place where big ideas and aspirations can be shared, developed, and enjoyed by everyone.
“Dad was a lovely and positive person and we wanted to honour his memory by supporting a charity that celebrates life and creativity, and values community and bringing people together” – Read Ken’s story.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to make us part of their story through a gift in their Will or In Memory of a loved one. If you wish, your special gift can be shared on our Supporters Wall in the Pavilion foyer.

After thinking about the family and friends you would like to remember in your Will, we would be incredibly grateful if you decide to leave a gift to the De La Warr Pavilion.
Whether it is a percentage of your estate or a fixed amount, leaving a gift in your Will to the De La Warr Pavilion could reduce the amount of inheritance tax you pay.
