IGHTON

We are delighted to present our new season What’s On guide featuring lots of fantastic shows to choose from.

We are thrilled that after 18 months, over 1,500 terracotta tiles and a multi-million pound investment, we have recently been able to fully unveil our newly restored Grade II* listed colonnade. The balcony has been returned to its original splendour and will now be accessible again.

To mark this significant moment in the project, we are excited to have launched a brand new venue logo. The logo reflects the history of our wonderful Theatre and the ever-breathing aspect of our building, our people and our shows.

Completion of the building works means you can now enjoy a drink in the outdoor seating area of The Colonnade Bar, which has also undergone a rebrand and has a new website: thecolonnadebrighton.co.uk

As we enter a new stage of the theatre’s history we hope you, our audience and friends, will join us soon to enjoy the improvements we have made to the theatre, whether for a show, a drink in the pub or both!

The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed… again. The actors, theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider, are crammed into a toosmall boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic… if it doesn’t sink them all.

This Olivier Award-nominated new play is ‘hilariously brilliant and pure genius’ raves the Sunday Express and stars Ian Shaw (War Horse, Common) as his father, Robert Shaw

Children

No children under 3 will be admitted to the venue except where it is specifically stated at the time of booking that the event is suitable for under 3s. Babes in arms (children under 18 months unless otherwise stated at the time of booking and on the ticket) will only be admitted to performances that are specifically aimed for them (pantomimes and shows permitting under 3s only). Where babes in arms are permitted they shall be admitted free of charge. If any other age restrictions apply for a particular performance this will be stated on the relevant production page of our website. Children (ages 18 months to 15 years inclusive) shall require their own ticket which shall be at full ticket price if no child concessions are available at the time of booking. Children (ages 15 years and under) must be supervised at all times. Supervision of children shall be by not less than 1 adult (aged 18 years or over) per 10 children and the supervising adult must sit next to the child/ren. The Management reserves the right to ask parents / supervisors to remove children if, in the opinion of the Management, they are causing a disturbance. Please note that some productions can be loud, if a member of your party is sensitive to this, we would recommend bringing their preferred noise protection.

Information about fees

Up to £1.75 from each ticket sold is used for the upkeep and improvements to your venue. We spend this wisely to give you the best experience possible, provide equal access for everyone and offer creative learning opportunities in local communities across the UK. Additional fees may also apply where we sell tickets for non-ATG venues, or for selected big name shows and performances. These additional fees may take the form of a per ticket booking fee and/or a one-off transaction fee. Please check our website for the most up-to-date ticket prices and fees. The information in this brochure is correct at the time of going to press. We reserve the right to make alterations to the published programme of events, their prices, concessions, offers and fees.
