WILL I BE CHARGED A BOOKING FEE WHEN I BUY MY TICKETS?

The Barn Theatre is an unsubsidised charity. To provide a full and comprehensive Box Office service we administer a £1.50 booking fee. This is applied per ticket as is customary throughout the theatre industry. We thank you for your support.

CAN I REFUND OR EXCHANGE MY TICKETS?

Refunds
Tickets are non-refundable.
Exchanges
We make a charge of £2.50 per ticket on all exchanges.
Exchanges are subject to availability.
We will exchange tickets for alternatives of the same / higher value, for a later performance of the same show.
Should your new tickets be of higher value, you will be required to pay the additional cost.
We will not issue a refund if new tickets are of lower value than the original selection.
You may request an exchange up to 48 hours before the performance.

I’M PICKING UP MY TICKETS FROM THE BOX OFFICE. WHEN SHOULD I DO THAT?

At least half an hour before the performance starts, if possible, certainly no later than 15 minutes before the start of the performance. If you do not pick up your tickets five minutes before the start of the performance, we’re sorry, but we reserve the right to re-allocate the tickets.

CAN I GO STRAIGHT INTO THE AUDITORIUM TO SIT DOWN WHEN I ARRIVE?

You may go in and sit down 15 minutes before the performance starts. The bar is open one hour before the performance, and Téatro Restaurant serves pre-show meals, but we do advise that you book in advance.

WHAT IF I ARRIVE LATE? CAN I STILL GET TO MY SEAT?

We understand that delays happen. We do our best to accommodate latecomers but you may not be admitted until a suitable point in the performance so as not to disrupt actors and the audience.

HOW DO I FIND OUT HOW LONG THE SHOW WILL BE?

Approximate running times appear on the show information page on the website or you can call the box office on 01285 648255. Most shows have an interval of 20 minutes.

I’D LIKE TO BRING MY CHILDREN TO SEE A SHOW. IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?

Age guidance on each show is always published. As a general rule, no babies or children under four will be admitted for any production, unless it is a show aimed at very young children. If an age limit is considered appropriate, guidelines will be published.

Please be aware that any child aged 16 or under must be accompanied by an adult.
