Latecomer Policy
Revised Nov 2024
We encourage all our patrons to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to advertised show start time.
Late admission cannot be guaranteed and may only occur if there is a suitable break in the performance. This is at the discretion of theatre staff, and the visiting companies, who may have strict latecomer guidelines.
If you arrive late and admittance is possible, Pavilion Theatre cannot guarantee you will be sat in your purchased seat, but we will do our best to accommodate. However, to ensure the least amount of disruption to audience members and the performers, staff reserve the right to bring customers in through the back of the auditorium to access available seats.
If a show has an interval, you are free to move to your purchased seat during this time.
You may be asked to wait in the foyer until a suitable break in the show, which could be the interval. In this case, theatre staff may be able to provide a listening device to hear the audio from the performance.
If for any reason you think you may be late to a show, feel free to contact the box office and enquire about the latecomer policy for that specific event.
For performances that have a strict "no latecomer / no readmittance" policy, we will be unable to allow people to return to the auditorium if they leave during the performance. If you have a medical condition which might require you to leave during a show, please inform staff at time of booking and we will advise accordingly.
Pavilion Theatre reserves the right to refuse entry to latecomers.
Pavilion Theatre reserves the right to reallocate tickets in the auditorium with another seat in the event of latecomers.
