The North Devon Theatres' Trust has an annual turnover of approximately £2.4 million, of which some 26 per cent is derived from grants from the North Devon District Council, Devon County Council and Arts Council England. The remaining 74 per cent is earned income from the box office, catering, bar, commercial and business activities.

To be able to provide our wide range of artistic and educational activities, we also rely on the support of many local businesses through our various Sponsorship, Business Associate and donor schemes.
