Join the Bluecoat Lottery
The Bluecoat Lottery supports all our work with artists and the maintenance of our beautiful Grade I Listed building.
Play to win up to £1,000 per week and more, whilst supporting our cause to make arts accessible for all.
The Bluecoat is a home for creative potential, where art and people meet.
Our purpose is to create new and more meaningful ways to experience art. For artists and for everyone, we bring art into life, and we know how transformative art can be.
Many of the people we work with face significant barriers to experiencing art and getting creative. Our goal is to break down those barriers. Can you help us make a difference?
