EATING IN AND AROUND THE SHOW Our Unicornershop located in the foyer, is open an hour before the performance (and 30 mins before a 9.30am show) and sells a range of delicious locally made cakes and savouries, healthy snacks, Fairtrade tea and coffee and a selection of soft or alcoholic drinks as well as a fantastic collection of ethically sourced toys and gifts at pocket money prices.

We just ask three things of customers during a show: no food, no phones, no photos. How- ever you are welcome to take into the theatre drinks in plastic cups or cartons, and hot drinks as long as they have a lid.
