Some FAQs

Can my child sit on my knee?

Babes in arms (children under 2) may sit on a parents knee for the Re-imagined Shakespeare production and Dinosaur Zoo only, but are not otherwise admitted to the theatre. For more information regarding children take a look at our terms and conditions.

Can I combine discounts?

No, only one concession or discount can be applied per booking, although Groups pricing can be applied on top of preview pricing and early bird preview pricing.

I want specific seat numbers. Can I book these online?

Yes. Our ticketing system enables you to select specific seats online.

Will I get my tickets posted out to me?

E-tickets will be e-mailed to you for online bookings. Tickets will be posted out if they are purchased by telephone (pre-booked tickets for 2013 will be posted at the end of April). Some tickets will be held at the box office for collection prior to the performance where identification is required to claim a discount.

What happens if I am unable to attend the performance?

Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable. We can try to re-sell your tickets if the performance is sold out. A handling fee will be charged for this service.

What happens if it rains?

On average, 94% of our performances are completed each season. In the event that the performance doesn't go ahead, or is abandoned due to bad weather, you can exchange your tickets for a future performance in our main summer season. No refunds are given. Sunday music and comedy events continue whatever the weather. All tickets are sold subject to our terms and conditions.
