BOX OFFICE BOOKINGS
You can book advance tickets in person or by telephone (01458 442846) during Box Office opening hours. In addition, the box office is open for an hour before a 5pm or evening event exclusively for ticket transactions and collections for that day’s event. Please arrive in plenty of time if you need to collect tickets or wish to buy tickets for the evening, as all our live events and films start at the advertised time (no trailers/adverts) and you may have to queue at the box office on a busy night.

ONLINE BOOKING
Go to the home page and scroll down to your chosen event where you will find the “Book Now” link, which will take you to the NEAT online ticketing site.

• Log in first, that saves time before payment as tickets are only held for a limited time
• Then go to your chosen show
• Select the full price tickets (but don’t “add to basket” yet)
• Then select the concession you want and the seating plan will reload itself
• Select the seats you want under that concession
• When you see all the seats at the correct prices in the box on the left, then click on ‘add to basket’
• And then go to check out (if you only wish to book for just the one event) or click on “Productions” to book for other events.

In Spanish with English subtitles

Tuesday 16th & Wednesday 17th July 7.30pm
When a technical failure endangers the lives of all those on board Peninsula Flight 2549 there is only one thing the crew can do: rally together.

Harking back to his early works, Pedro Almodóvar delivers a singular comedy that’s lighter than air. “It’s a lot of fun! Very risqué in a typically Almodovar way ... It’s about the fluffiest thing he’s ever done.” Simon Ward, Independent Cinema Office.
