Your Visit

We hope that if you are visiting us you will have a wonderful experience. All our performances are staffed entirely by volunteers who give their time freely to keep the Hippodrome alive and well for your enjoyment and entertainment. We look forward to welcoming you through our doors. Hopefully you will find the information below a useful guide.

On The Day

Most evening performances at the Hippodrome begin at 7.30pm with doors to the main Foyer and Auditorium opening at 7pm. If you wish to have some pre-theatre drinks in comfort, our Props Room Bar is open to the public on performance evenings from 6.30pm. Form 7pm the Foyer Bar will also be open for service and we usually run a pre-order interval drinks service to save you queuing at the interval. Other refreshments such as confectionary, tea and coffee are also served before most performances and at the interval from 7pm in the main Foyer.

​

Please note that all bars and kiosks will be closed during the performance.
