Even a 1% donation in your Will ensures a legacy that sustains the arts in Chester for generations to come.

Remember Storyhouse in your Will

If you decide to leave at least 10% of your estate to charity, the Inheritance Tax rate on the rest of your estate may reduce from 40% to 36%. If you would like to leave a gift in your Will to Storyhouse, we strongly recommend you that you speak to a solicitor to ensure that your wishes will be carried out as you intend.

You will need to take the following details with you:
