  • Pack a small cushion if you want extra comfort on the seats, because the cathedral doesn't provide any for the audience.
  • Wheelchair users should contact the team before booking, so they can advise on seats near the accessibility ramp on the left side.
  • Head for the St Anne's Square or Dunbar St car parks, because the cathedral car park is limited and gives priority to blue badge holders.
  • Keep your phone away during the show, because no photography or video recording of the performers is allowed in the cathedral.
