We warmly welcome families to attend both music and theatre here at the arts centre. We suggest minimum ages for shows and sometimes offer a family deal ticket for theatre events to make a memorable evening out all the more affordable.
A family ticket is for 2 adults and 2 kids (or equivalent)
You told us that you'd prefer it if our performance and live gigs were just a bit earlier and so now all evening performances start at 7.30pm.
We want to reward you for booking early and the tickets booked and paid for in advance are discounted. Please note that at a minute past midnight on the day of the show only "on the day" tickets are available. Please be sure to book in good time so that you can take advantage of the discounted ticket prices.

Firelight Trio
£16/£13(c) • Friends £14/£11(c)
Meet Firelight Trio. Three 'musical giants' collaborate to explore and celebrate European music that is evocative, inventive, and endlessly exciting.
Ruth’s resonant nyckelharpa (a bowed instrument, originally built & played by farmers and craftspeople in the northern Uppland in Sweden) is matched by Gavin’s powerhouse fiddle, all backed up by Phil’s splendidly inventive accordion and piano, to create a rich, resonant tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more.
