The Big Give Christmas Challenge
The Big Give Christmas Challenge
The Big Give Christmas Challenge has now finished. Thank you to everyone who together donated over £70,000 towards the costs of touring Carlos Acosta's Don Quixote in 2026.
Did you know?
- Don Quixote features four flamenco guitarists on stage.
- 400 tattoos will be made for the duration of the tour.
- The show requires 50 pieces of facial hair.
- Kitri's tutu in Act III is a halter neck with a low back. This is unusual for ballet and very technically difficult to make.
How will your support make a difference?
- £20 could create a new costume tattoo for a dancer
- £50 could restore a dancer’s hat
- £150 could fund new footwear for a dancer
- £1,000 will repair Kitri’s costume
- £5,000 could provide a new Rascal costume
