Bookings
Please note that admission is not guaranteed, but is instead on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are not therefore a guarantee of entry. As not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, and to make sure we have a full house, we do offer more tickets than there are places.
We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately, we occasionally have to disappoint people. Please therefore arrive in plenty of time to try to secure your place at the event.
