Tips & Advice

  • Allow extra time to arrive, park and get settled; latecomers may have to wait until a suitable break in the performance.
  • Use the small pay-and-display car park opposite; parking is free after 6pm, and additional pay-and-display spaces are available along the seafront.
  • Book wheelchair seating by calling the Box Office rather than online; wheelchair spaces are limited and staff can discuss access needs.
  • Leave outside drinks at home; drinks bought from the venue bar can be taken into the auditorium only in plastic cups.
  • Keep cameras, recording devices and mobile phones put away in the auditorium; their use is prohibited unless performers specifically invite it.

  • Where available, buy 9 tickets together and get the 10th free.
