We keep the ticket prices low to make sure it’s affordable to all. If you want to choose a higher price ticket, this supports the lowest price tickets, we leave it up to you to choose, simply pick a ‘pay what you like'.

The low ticket prices in no way reflect the quality of the night. We look forward to seeing you at this brilliant line up for our December show. Booking is essential, as space is very limited, this is a small venue. Line ups are always subject to change if there are circumstances beyond our control. We’ve been lucky so far..
