Get here early
We recommend arriving 30 minutes before the performance starts, so you can soak up the pre-show atmosphere and have plenty of time to find your seat.
Food and drink

Children
We put on some family-friendly performances but, generally speaking, we don’t allow children under the age of five in the audience.
If the show allows children under five, under twos go free. If you’re a parent or carer, please book aisle seats to make getting in and out easier.
Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

We don’t allow recording on any cameras, mobile phones or other recording equipment in the auditorium.
