The venue provides step-free access to the main house, wheelchair spaces in the stalls with transfer options, accessible toilets, and assistance dog facilities. Captioned, BSL-interpreted, audio-described, and relaxed performances are available.

What time should I get to the theatre?

Aim to arrive 30 minutes before the show starts to allow time for security checks, finding your seat, and exploring the theatre. This also gives you time to explore the merchandise stands inside the theatre for exclusive show-related items like T-shirts, mugs, posters, and cast recordings.

No photos or videos are permitted during the show itself, but you’ll have a chance to take pictures before, after, and during the cast’s curtain call.

Is food and drink available in the theatre?

The Lyric Bar & Grill (upstairs with a roof garden) is open from noon until 9 pm and serves pre-theatre meals like burgers, salads, pizzas, children’s combos, coffee, cakes, cocktails, soft drinks, and craft beer. The Lyric Café on the ground floor also offers specialty coffee, breakfast pastries, lunch pies, and cakes throughout the day. Drinks purchased at the bar (including alcoholic and soft drinks) may be taken into the auditorium in plastic cups.

Is there a cloakroom or space to store luggage?
