It is all unreserved seating. (Operating on a first come first served basis).

Do I need to print my tickets?
There is no need to print your tickets. We have you on a ticket list. This means all you need to do is come along to the event and upon arrival check in with the Box Office staff by simply telling them what name the tickets are booked under.
Do I have to pre-book my tickets?
We do recommend pre-booking your tickets. It is extremely helpful for us as a venue and the show teams to know roughly how many people will be attending. Although, you are able to buy your tickets on the night. This may not always be possible due to the performance being sold out. So, to avoid any disappointment we do advise you book them in advance.

There are three simple ways that you can book tickets.
1 – You can book your tickets online, Click on the ‘What’s On’ tab and select which show you would like to see and follow the steps from there.

The Beggar’s Theatre is up a flight of stairs. Please do not worry. We do have a ramp and stair lift to help anyone into the theatre that may require it.
Where can I park?
There is a small car park located outside of the theatre. However, due to it only being small this does tend to get full rather quickly. There is also a bigger car park just around the corner by our local Tesco’s. This is less than a five-minute walk from the theatre.
