We want our shows to be as accessible to as many people as possible.

We offer tickets to most shows on a Pay What You Can basis throughout the year.

Tickets for Council Chamber performances in 2026 start at £9.50, and we have recommended pricing to help you choose a price that works for you.

We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some. If you can afford to pay the recommended price or more, choosing to do so supports those that can’t. It makes it possible for us to continue to offer Pay What You Can and welcome those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.

They are in various states of undress, some of them are topless with jeans on, others with a half-unbuttoned top on, others just in underwear or with their trousers and underwear showing part of their bottom. The floor is brick and there is a black cable running round it connecting to some lighting stands that can be seen in the background.
