Tickets

Please help us to make less of an impact on the environment by downloading your tickets on your mobile device.  These can then be shown or scanned by the steward on the door.  If you do wish to print a ticket we ask that you do this at home.

Concessions

Concessions are indicated where available but are dependent on the artist’s recommendations.
Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Children under 2 years may attend family events for free if no seat is required.

Refunds

We regret that we are unable to refund tickets unless the performance is postponed or cancelled. We may be able to resell your ticket on the night depending on demand.

Seating

The majority of our events are unreserved seating. This may be cabaret style or rowed seating. Some of our livelier music gigs may be standing only, although we have a seated balcony area. Seated events operate on a first-come-first-served basis on the night. Auditorium doors open 20 minutes prior to the advertised start time, however you are welcome to enjoy a pre-show drink from the Bar which is open an hour before the show begins.

Access

Bridgwater Arts Centre has disabled ramp access with entry phone at the front of the building. The auditorium, bar and gallery are fully accessible. There are disabled toilet facilities. Please call the box office if you wish to discuss any access requirements. We always try to accommodate access needs to the best of our ability within the constraints of our historic building whilst adhering to health and safety regulations.
