Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Book tickets in advance, especially for popular shows, as they often sell out. Consider purchasing tickets over the phone if you prefer not to book online.
  • Arrive early to secure good seats, as seating is general admission (first in, best dressed). The theatre opens approximately 15 minutes before the show.
  • The venue is not wheelchair accessible and involves climbing stairs. If you have specific access requirements, contact them in advance to discuss potential assistance.
  • While the show is themed around Christmas, it's noted as having mature adult themes (MA15+), so it's recommended to check suitability for younger audience members.
  • Enjoy a drink from their curated bar menu featuring local winemakers and brewers before the show or during intermission.
