The venue serves food all day on Sundays, so why not head on down a little early to enjoy a lovely Sunday lunch or some beers by the fireplace in our bar before the show? We recommend booking a table or ordering food by 4.30pm at the latest to ensure you have plenty of time to dine before the show starts. Please note food can not be eaten during the show.

We reserve the right to ask you to leave should you be deemed a nuisance to the enjoyment of the show.

🍺 Don't bring your own alcohol. The venue will ask you to leave.
🪑 During the show please stay seated. Don't keep getting up and down to go to the bar or you will spoil the show for others. There are plenty of breaks to buy drinks.
