Important Considerations for Hiring
Your hire time has to include adequate time to set-up and rehearsal for your show. It is vital that you discuss with the theatreʼs technical staff about your staging requirements, and that you agree any extra staffing and equipment costs that may be necessary.
The theatre provides a technical staff as part of the hire of the main theatre.
Any electrical equipment you bring in to the theatre for your event, such as amplifiers and electric keyboards MUST be PAT (Portable Appliance Test) tested in accordance with the Electricity At Work Regulations.
Children in performances
The law is very strict about children performing in shows. You will be required by law to have registered chaperones, and proper procedures for signing children in and out of the theatre.
Hire finish time
The building must be clear and secured by the end of the hire period. Any over run is liable to additional charges. Performances must end in plenty of time to allow the theatre to be cleared and secured by the end of the agreed access time. No performance may run past 11pm as specified in the Theatreʼs Entertainment Licence.
Cancellation
If you cancel your event you will lose your deposit. You will also remain liable for all costs and payments that the theatre has committed itself to in respect of staffing and other up front costs.
