If a workshop you'd like to do is fully booked ring Box Office (01805 624624) to be added to the waiting list, you might be lucky! This also helps us ascertain the demand for particular workshops when programming.

  • Our extra cleaning practices will remain in place and hand sanitizer will be available on entry and in the restrooms.
  • We will ask seated customers to leave the auditorium row-by-row to avoid crowding at the exit.
