Insider tips

Book tickets in advance via the official website, as popular shows frequently sell out during peak summer months.

Check the 'What's On' page before travelling to confirm if a show is scheduled, as the venue is event-dependent.

Arrive early to enjoy refreshments in the theatre's bar area, which offers views towards the coastline.

What to avoid

Assuming the box office is open daily; check the website for specific event-day hours rather than arriving on a non-show day.

Good to know

Operating hours fluctuate based on the performance schedule; the venue may be closed to the public on days without scheduled events.
