Christmas/New Year Opening Times
After a very busy 2025, we’re having a bit of time off over the festive period, to give all of the team a break and to spend some time giving the venue some TLC.
As a result, we’re not going to be open for all of our usual hours. We have a run of shows over the Christmas and New Year period, including our first ever Gig Panto; then after our big New Year’s Eve party, we’re closed for 8 days at the start of January. This includes the studios being closed. Full opening hours are below.
Thanks for coming to visit us this year, your support really means a lot!
See you soon!
