Capstone Theatre
ENTRY

WHERE
Liverpool
What it’s like
Jazz and classical concerts plus drama performances in a compact theatre on Shaw Street.
This is a proper theatre rather than a soft play or a farm, so what's on offer is sitting down and watching something: jazz concerts, classical music and drama performances make up the programme. Tickets start at £12 and climb past £22 depending on the show, which is the usual theatre spread rather than a flat family price.
It's on Shaw Street, opposite the Collegiate, close enough to Liverpool city centre that public transport is the easy option. On-site parking exists but it's limited, only opens up 40 minutes before evening performances and usually comes with a small fee, so if you're driving over, plan for that squeeze rather than assuming a space.
Access is properly thought through: the venue's fully accessible, with wheelchair seats at either end of row M. Seating there is unreserved so they ask you to email ahead, and a carer is charged as one seat rather than going in free, which is worth knowing before you book.
There's no set age range given for the programme, so whether a show suits your child really comes down to what's actually on. A jazz set or a classical evening asks for more sitting still than a toddler tends to manage, while a drama performance might be exactly the sort of thing an older child would sit through happily.
