Legacies can support specific areas of work like education or young singers, or more generally towards the operatic enjoyment of future generations. Either way, they can make a unique memorial to a personal involvement with Glyndebourne.
Legacies can be made by way of a gift of cash, shares or property and your solicitor can advise you on writing your will. As Glyndebourne Arts Trust is a registered charity (no. 208743) no inheritance tax is payable on the amount of your legacy. In certain situations this may be an effective way of reducing the tax liability of your estate whilst benefiting a favourite charity
Our Appreciation
In 1934, Glyndebourne was founded through the generosity and vision of Audrey Mildmay and John Christie. To honour their legacy we have created the John Christie Society to recognise and thank generous and forward thinking individuals who are leaving a gift in their will. In addition to the financial and tax benefits associated with legacies, John Christie Society members will receive special acknowledgement in the Glyndebourne Festival Programme as well as having the opportunity to become more involved with Glyndebourne.
Further information is available in the downloadable Legacy Brochure, alternatively if you would like to leave a gift in your will to Glyndebourne, you may also find the attached wording helpful (Codicil document) or information on the tax advantages of leaving money to Glyndebourne.
