Layout
The stalls are downstairs in the auditorium. Normally – but not always - balcony seats might be unreserved so it's a first-come, first-served affair. Reserved seating shows will also have standing areas behind the seats.

Parking
Our venue doesn't have its own parking facilities, but there are bays and street parking locally, on Bow Street and Irving Street to the rear. The Mailbox car park (600 metres away) has 16 accessible spaces.
