BOOKING AND TICKET
INFORMATION
Tickets
are sold at Nantwich Tourist Information Centre (TIC).
Call
in person or ring 01270 537359 from the 23 June.
Telephone bookings must
be paid for by credit/debit card. You will be asked for the card number
at the time of booking. The tickets can be collected from the tourist
information centre - or will be available at the theatre on the evening
of the performance. Tickets paid for using a card are immediately the
property of the card holder - there is no dashing to the theatre before
a set time to avoid them being resold.
If a member of your party
cannot be present after all, we will try to re-sell their
ticket, but our own unsold tickets - if any - take priority. We often
have members of the public waiting in the foyer on the chance of
returned tickets when all our tickets have been sold. Mention any spare
tickets to our people behind the coffee bar (which acts as a box office
before the show) when you arrive at the theatre.
Theatre
facilities include a hearing loop system and space for two wheechairs
(see below). Please note that each
wheelchair space occupies most of two seats on the front row (but you
pay only the price of one seat).
You must mention the
wheelchair use when booking your tickets as the second seat alongside
the wheelchair cannot be occupied.
Nantwich Players' Theatre has an intimate auditorium with 82 seats
which means no member of the audience is too far from the stage. But
book early to avoid disappointment!
| GENERAL INFORMATION
-
A
no smoking rule applies to the whole
of the theatre - including the foyer bar. -
Latecomers:
Because of the design of the theatre it is not possible to
admit late arrivals until a suitable break in the action. With some
plays this may not be until the interval! As parties from Nantwich
Players visit other theatres in the county and beyond we do understand
the difficulty of getting to a theatre on time after a long journey -
especially if it is a first visit to the theatre. While we can allow a
couple of minutes if a party is on its way, it can be no more
than that for the benefit of members of the audience already in their
seats. -
The
foyer bar is open before and after the performance (a chance
to meet the cast) as well as during the interval. Drinks must be
consumed in the bar area only. They cannot be taken into the
auditorium. Order your drinks before the start of the performance and
they will be waiting for you at the interval - placed on a bar shelf
with a easily-seen exclusive ticket number to catch your eye. There is
then no need to queue during the 20-minute break. -
The
coffee bar serves coffee at the interval only
for patrons who would rather not have an alcoholic or soft drink. We
don't take orders for coffee. -
Food
and drink are not allowed in the auditorium. Sweets in
wrappers, which could cause a nuisance to fellow theatre-goers and the
cast are also not allowed - but we do have a range of "silent"
confectionery on sale at the foyer bar.
-
The
theatre has a unisex toilet for the disabled.
-
Car
parking is easy! The Players' Theatre stands on the edge of
the Waterlode/Love Lane public car park (no charge after
6pm). However, this may fill quickly on some evenings as
patrons of other nearby venues make use of it. But there are other car
parks close by. -
Photography,
videography and sound recordings are not permitted in the
auditorium, mainly for copyright reasons, but also to avoid disturbing
the cast and your fellow theatregoers. -
Mobile
phones, pagers and watches must be turned off during the
performance. -
Programmes
(30p) are on sale at each production, but where a show has
been sponsored, programmes are free of charge - and some contain an
offer coupon from the sponsor. Arrangements may be different for an
external hire production.
