PRE-SHOW INFORMATION

VISIT OUR ACCESS PAGE

We want our shows to be as accessible to as many people as possible.

We offer tickets to most shows on a Pay What You Can basis throughout the year.

Tickets for Council Chamber performances in 2026 start at £9.50, and we have recommended pricing to help you choose a price that works for you.

We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some. If you can afford to pay the recommended price or more, choosing to do so supports those that can’t. It makes it possible for us to continue to offer Pay What You Can and welcome those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.

A tentative audience sitting on the floor blur into the shadows behind two vibrant bold figures, illuminated in purple light. One person is suspended in air by rope bondage knot, with neon red, pink and green rope, hands crossed behind their back. The other, with their back to the camera is gently holding the first person's head and pressing their own to it, creating a warm sense of connection and safety. In the purple background various mundane objects are spun in neon macramé creating unique patterns.

Mini-golf installation called, ‘Algorithmic K-Holes and the Techno-Serfdom of Simulated Entrapment Under Slop Capitalism'’, features a winding green path with white rims, curving under and behind a screen which projects a man in a golf cart, and back out to a round space with the hole. A woman in a black top and black and white plaid trousers is celebrating with hand up and club in one hand.
