Cancellations
For outdoor events, full refunds will only be offered in the event of extreme weather conditions or safety factors forcing the cancellation of the entire event.

We cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred to you for travel, accommodation or any other related costs as a result of a cancelled or rescheduled performance, course, workshop or event. All such costs are incurred entirely at your own risk.
Age Restrictions
Our family performances, workshops and other events are for children and young people aged under 18 to attend but they must be accompanied by an adult aged 18+ at all times.
The information for each performance, course, workshop or event will provide more detail regarding age suitability where applicable.
Ticket Requirements
Essential carers/PAs are eligible for a free ticket when accompanying the person they are supporting. Their free ticket should be added when you book your ticket. If you require a second essential carer/PA, a concession rate ticket will need to be purchased for them.
Babes-in-arms (12 months and below) will not normally require a ticket if they will be sitting on an adult’s lap for the duration. There are, however, exceptions to this eg if the event is a specific baby event – the booking details on our website will specify if this is the case.
All children aged 12+ months will require a ticket for all children’s shows and other family events.
If you are unsure at time of booking, please contact our Box Office team for advice.
We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone of any age without a required ticket.
Accessibility
Carers/PAs are very welcome – just remember to book their free place when you book your tickets.
If you may require additional support and/or adjustments to help you participate in our programme, we strongly recommend that you talk to us in advance of booking to discuss your access needs, to ensure we can support you. We are unable to offer refunds if a performance, course, workshop or other event isn’t suitable.
