Leave a Legacy 

Inspire Learning, Connectivity and Creativity for Generations to Come

If The Poly has played a part in your life, as a space of discovery, joy or connection, please consider leaving a legacy. Together, we can ensure that The Poly continues to inspire, educate and grow for years to come.  

For almost 200 years, The Poly has stood at the heart of Falmouth, connecting people through the arts, sciences, and Cornish heritage.

From exhibitions and lectures to films, performances and workshops, we have nurtured curiosity, championed innovation, and brought our community together through culture and creativity. Your gift would help ensure that this vital work continues, not just today, but for future generations. 

Legacy gifts, large or small, make a lasting  difference. It’s easy to organise via your solicitor or get in contact with us. We will never ask any information about your will, but just provide you with any information you require - email us at info@thepoly.org 

In Memoriam Donations

An In Memoriam donation is a wonderful way to remember a loved one who had happy memories of The Poly. All In Memoriam gifts will go towards continuing The Poly's work and make a valuable contribution to the cultural landscape of Falmouth.

We have a variety of giving opportunities available to make a fitting tribute to your loved one, including naming a seat in our theatre or requesting donations to The Poly in lieu of flowers. 

Please get in touch with us at info@thepoly.org for more information.

In Memoriam Donation Pages

Patricia Van Hear


Pat assembling props

Pat Van Hear died peacefully at Roscarrack House, Falmouth on 3 August 2020, aged 91. Rather than flowers, Pat's family would prefer donations to be made to The Poly, with which Pat was long associated. Pat immersed herself in Falmouth's theatre scene from the late 1960s.  She took the lead role in George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan in 1968, and subsequently worked as a stage manager, on props, sound and lighting in the 1970s and 1980s. 

To donate, please follow this link to Pat's donation page.
