What it’s like
A seaside theatre and gig venue with a café, bar and a Royal Hall for bigger shows.
This is a live venue rather than a single show, so what you get depends entirely on what's booked that week. The Royal Hall hosts the bigger touring shows and concerts, and there's a licensed bar open during shows if you fancy a drink before the lights go down. The site doesn't say what's on for younger audiences specifically, so it's worth treating this as a general theatre and gig venue rather than assuming there's a kids' programme running.
The café is open daily and does hot and cold food, which is handy if you're making an afternoon of it rather than just popping in for an evening show. One thing to flag: if there's a big event or gig on, the café can close early, so don't bank on a post-show cuppa on those nights. For selected Royal Hall shows there's a pre-bookable Show Scran menu too, which is a nice touch if you want dinner sorted before you sit down.
Gigs come with a proper security policy: you cannot bring your own food or drink in, bags get searched on the door, and anything confiscated stays confiscated. It's a fair enough rule for a venue this size, but it does mean leaving the picnic in the car.
There's no on-site parking, though three pay and display car parks sit within a ten minute walk, plus some on-street parking and disabled bays on the slipway north. Wheelchair users get dedicated spaces in both the Stalls and Circle, and carers go free with proof of disability. Dogs are welcome too, with a designated sitting area in Sessions and assistance dogs always fine as long as you flag it when booking.

Plan your visit
Is this suitable for children?
The site does not specify age suitability or a children's programme, so it reads as a general theatre and gig venue rather than a dedicated family attraction.
Is there parking?
No parking on site, but three pay and display car parks are within a ten minute walk, the nearest at Langdale Wharf. There is some on-street parking too.
What if I have accessibility needs?
There are three wheelchair spaces in the Stalls and four in the Circle, plus a limited number of manual wheelchairs for mobility scooter users. Carers get free tickets with proof of disability.
Can I bring food or drink to a gig?
Bags are searched on the door and any food, drink or confectionery gets confiscated. If you need to bring something in for medical reasons, you are asked to call ahead at least 24 hours before the event.
What about food on site?
There is a café open daily for hot and cold food, though it can close early when a big gig or event is on. Selected Royal Hall shows also offer a pre-bookable Show Scran menu, and there is a licensed bar during shows.
Are dogs allowed?
There is a designated dog sitting area in Sessions, and assistance dogs are welcome if you let the box office know when booking.
