We want everyone to have a fantastic time and in order for this to happen we ask that you show the same respect to the evening as you would when attending the cinema or theatre.

With this in mind please consider the following:

• Arrive on time – doors open 7.30pm, show starts 8.30pm prompt (get there before 8pm and enjoy a drink or two before the show starts)

• Seating is on a ‘FIRST COME FIRST SERVED’ basis and there is limited standing room only for the last few to arrive

• Late comers will be asked to wait until the break and may have to stand for the duration of the show – No Refunds

• No Stag or Hen Parties (won’t be admitted – No Refunds)

• No Large Groups of drunks (won’t be admitted – No Refunds)

• No talking while the acts are performing (there are breaks during the night when you can get a drink, go to the toilet and chat with your friends)

• No heckling

• Switch off mobile phones

• No recording of acts performances

• No flash photography while acts are on stage

• Line up’s subject to change (in the event an act cannot attend the gig we will replace them with the best available act)

We're feeling a bit like a school teacher now but it’s for the benefit of the majority as a culmination of small things can greatly impair the success of an evening and we want everyone to have an amazing time
