Question Answer

• How To Book Your Tickets

  Book Online:

  Customers booking online are able to choose their seats.

  If this will be the first time you have used the on-line booking system, we recommend you set up your account before proceeding to buy tickets or choose seats. We will send a confirmation of your password to your email address and you will then be able to book your seats.

  PLEASE NOTE: As a general rule we do not allow single seats to be left unoccupied when you are booking online. It is hard for us to fill lots of single seats, as most bookings are made for two or more people; and so our booking system will not let you leave an empty seat between booked seats or at the end of a row. If you receive this warning, please look elsewhere in the ballroom for your seats. If you require specific seating for accessibility reasons please call the Box Office.

  In Person: For opening times please click here.

  By Telephone: You can call the Box Office on 01935 422884 during opening hours. We accept the following cards: Visa, Mastercard, Electron and Maestro. Tickets will be sent out by 2nd class post for a postage and processing fee of £2, alternatively customers can opt to collect their tickets from the Box Office or receive them via email at no charge. Tickets purchased for events less than 7 days away will be retained at the Box Office for collection.

  Please note, requests for transfers or credits where valid proof of an instruction to isolate has been given will only be valid where contact has been made with the venue at least 4 hours prior to the start time of the given event. No amendments can be made to bookings once the show has taken already place.

  Schools can follow a similar booking process for relevant performances.

• Babes In Arms Policy

  Under 2's will be admitted free of charge to children's shows, but parents must obtain a special ticket from the Box Office on arrival at the theatre.

  For all other shows we kindly request patrons contact the Box Office in advance to ascertain whether a performance is deemed to be suitable for young babies by the Management of Westlands Entertainment Venue. If considered to be the case, a ticket will be issued free of charge with the understanding that parents sit near an aisle and be prepared to remove themselves from the auditorium if their baby becomes unsettled. Westlands Entertainment Venue is a family friendly venue and we are happy to assist parents wherever possible, but must also consider our other patrons enjoyment of the theatre and ensure they are not disrupted during performances.

  PLEASE NOTE: Babes in Arms tickets for all performances permit under 2's to sit on the lap of a parent. If a parent wishes to have a separate seat for their baby they must purchase a ticket accordingly.
