Booking information
OPENING HOURS
The Box Office is open from 10am – 4.30pm from Monday to Saturday (closed lunchtime 12.30pm – 1.30pm) We are also open from 1 hour before any performance. On-line bookings can be made 24 hours a day.
PAYMENTS
We accept all major credit and debit cards except American Express. Cheques (If booking in person, by post or by phone) should be made payable to West Cliff (Tendring) Trust. Bookings should be paid for within five working days.
BOOKING FEE
A booking fee of £1 will apply on all ticket sales and reservations made online, over the phone or in person, whether paying by cash, cheque or credit/debit card. Prices that are displayed on this website include this fee.
Why do we need to charge a booking fee?
The theatre receives no external grant or additional funding, and in order to provide you with the best entertainment possible, we need to charge a booking fee to secure our share of the ticket income. On average, we receive around 22% of the ticket price for the shows that you see at the West Cliff, with the majority of the ticket price going to the artists, producers and promoters. Charging a booking fee ensures that 100% of this extra revenue comes to the theatre.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the West Cliff Theatre.
POSTAGE
Patrons who require their tickets to be posted should send a SAE (If booking in person or by phone).
Alternatively we can post your tickets for £1.50 postage & handling charge.
