Gift vouchers are a simple Christmas present that is sure to delight the recipient. Rather than a £10 HMV token, why not give the gift of a fantastic performance that also supports the arts in your community?

Funny Women have introduced £10 and £20 gift vouchers towards any of our London, Brighton, and charity gigs. Here are some other top picks that may tickle the fancy of those you love this Christmas.

 

Friends of Brighton Fringe: Several different membership options offer free tickets, priority booking, VIP events, and free advertisments for one of the best Fringe Festivals in the country. Visit their website or email friends@brightonfringe.org for more information.

Theatre Tokens:  These unique gift vouchers can be used to see Plays, Musicals, Comedies, Opera, Dance. Available in selected WH Smith branches and other retailers as well as online, with participating theatres around the country, this is a flexible gift for just about anyone.

Southbank Centre: Arts Vouchers for one of London's premier venues can be used to buy tickets for any event or exhibition at Southbank Centre, or a Southbank Centre membership, and have no expiry date. They make an ideal gift for arts lovers, and can be used in person at theirTicket Office, over the phone or online.
