LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art)

Last week, 360 supporters, alumni and students gathered at the Victoria and Albert Museum for LAMDA’s 2026 Fundraising Gala 'To LAMDA, with love.'

Hosted by LAMDA President Benedict Cumberbatch, the evening brought together inspiring performances, talks and exclusive auction lots in support of LAMDA’s core programmes and life-changing scholarships.

This year’s Gala has raised over £300,000 in net income, with further gifts still coming in.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

LAMDA's Andy Taylor, Course Leader, BA (Hons) Production & Technical Arts, spent two days at Alexandra Palace in London at the 2026 ABTT Theatre Show (Association of British Theatre Technicians) at the beginning of June, talking to industry peers, current students in training, and to the next generation of candidates researching Programmes and Courses across the production and technical arts spectrum 🎬🎧

Andy says, "Meeting people face to face is important when discussing the features and the benefits of training for all types of production roles in the theatre, screen, and wider events arena. It's in the nature of what we do. Our BA (Hons) Programme is in its 61st year, having produced so many creative and technical practitioners for our sector. It is good to see that demand remains high for the skills we teach, and that the industry we're part of is open to welcoming new generations of talent coming in and help them to go on to influence the future."

Find out more about our Production & Technical Arts Programme at our virtual opening evening on 1 July 💻
