Do you have a seating plan?

The seating arrangement will depend on the type of show and how many tickets have been sold. This can change right up until last minute. Therefore, we do not offer a seating plan. It is all unreserved seating. (Operating on a first come first served basis).

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.
