WHAT TIME DO YOU OPEN THE DOORS?

The foyers and bars are open one hour before curtain up. The auditorium is opened approximately 30 minutes before curtain up, allowing you access to your seats, although times may vary dependent on the production.

The King’s Theatre Box Office is open 1 hour before the performance and remains open until curtain-up. On days when there is a matinee performance, the box office remains open between the matinee and the evening performances.

DO YOU HAVE BARS & CAFES?

There are three bars in the King's Theatre: the Tudor bar in the Stalls, the Grand Circle bar and the Upper Circle bar. Bars are open one hour before the performance until after the interval. They serve coffee and a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

CAN I ORDER INTERVAL DRINKS?

Interval drinks can be ordered in advance from any of the bars.

CAN I TAKE MY DRINKS INTO THE AUDITORIUM?

For most performances, customers are permitted to take plastic glasses into the auditorium. However, this policy is at the discretion of visiting companies so please check with Bar staff before the performance begins.

CAN I USE A CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FOR BUYING DRINKS?

Yes, we can take card payments at any of our tills for drinks. Please note that we are unable to accept Diners Club Card, Visa Electron, American Express and Solo.

IS THERE A CASHPOINT NEARBY?

Yes. There are some cashpoints located near the Cameo Cinema (towards Tollcross on the other side of the road). Unfortunately, our Bars / Box Office are not able to offer a cashback service.

DO YOU HAVE A CLOAKROOM?

Coats and bags may be left in the cloakroom located in the foyer. This service is free of charge and all items are left at the owner's risk.

CAN I BRING MY BABY?

In the interests of all patrons, babies and small children (under 4 years old) will not be admitted to performances, except for specific children's shows. For certain children's or family shows (including the pantomime), £2.00 tickets may be available for babies under 24 months.

WHAT FACILITIES DO YOU HAVE FOR CHILDREN?

The Kings Theatre have a limited supply of booster seats. Please check availabilty with a member of staff.

CAN I PRE-ORDER ICE CREAM FOR THE INTERVAL?

Yes, for orders of 8 or more ice-creams. You can order on arrival at the theatre but we cannot guarantee what products will be in stock at that time.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FIRST AID FACILITIES?

We are lucky to have the voluntary help of St John Ambulance at most of our performances, to complement a number of duty staff who are also trained in first aid.

WILL I BE ALLOWED IN IF I AM LATE?

In the majority of cases, yes. Some shows do not allow latecomers to enter once the show has started to minimize disturbance for cast and audience. Sometimes we may have to hold people in the foyer for a period of time before being able to admit them.

CAN I TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS?

No. This is distracting for both cast and audience and infringes copyright.

CAN I DANCE DURING CONCERTS/GIGS?

Some shows might get your feet tapping, but we would ask that everyone shows consideration for the rest of the audience. Dancing in the aisles is not permitted due to licensing regulations that demand the aisles are kept clear at all times.

ARE THERE ANY LIFTS IN THE BUILDING?

No. For more information, please see our Disabled access brochure. Download our Access Brochure.

IS STROBE LIGHTING USED AT THE THEATRE?

Yes, during some shows. We do rely on visiting companies to pass on this information to us. If they do, we will display the information on signs in the foyer to say if strobe or flashing lights are used. If we know in advance, we will put this information in the brochure and on the website.

CAN I PARK AT THE THEATRE?

We do not have our own car park but for more information visit Central Car Parks.

CAN THE CAST OF THE SHOW WISH ME OR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY" DURING THE SHOW?

All shows are touring productions and unfortunately we are unable to help with such requests.
