Eating and drinking during the performance
We serve a selection of drinks and snacks before the performance and during the interval from our bars on each level. The average price for snacks, including ice cream, is £4.
We understand that people want to bring their own snacks. As a courtesy to other audience members, please don’t eat hot food or packed lunches.
You can take drinks into the auditorium if they’re in plastic bottles or cups, but no glass.

We put on some family-friendly performances but, generally speaking, we don’t allow children under the age of five in the audience.
If the show allows children under five, under twos go free. If you’re a parent or carer, please book aisle seats to make getting in and out easier.
Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Filming and photography
We don’t allow recording on any cameras, mobile phones or other recording equipment in the auditorium.
Respect
We ask that you treat our staff and your fellow audience members with respect. We have a zero-tolerance approach to any intimidating, aggressive or threatening behaviour.
