Security Searches

We thank you in advance for cooperating fully with our security and for supporting our team members as they carry out important work to keep all at the venue safe. We have licensed security operatives working alongside our Front of House staff and volunteers. Checks are carried out by team members and aim to get you into the venue without delay.

We advise that all customers arrive early to allow time to get through our security and safety checks.
Please help in the checks by arriving in good time, by not having in your possession any prohibited items, and bringing with you only a single small bag*.

In order to comply with our Licensing Objectives, the terms of our license and to ensure customer safety there are certain items (listed below) that we will not allow into the venue. If any of these items are found during the outlined security checks they will be confiscated, disposed of and not returned. We advise customers to check they do not have any of these items upon their person before trying to enter the venue.

*Bags 

The safety and security of customers and staff is of paramount importance. As a security measure, we undertake bag checks upon entry to our buildings which can occasionally cause a slight delay for customers gaining entry. We ask that customers don’t bring any suitcases, rucksacks or large holdalls with them as there is not space to store them. Small personal bags (A3 size: 297mm x 420mm or less) can be taken into the auditorium subject to a bag search. Exceptions may be made for those with medical requirements and/or special needs (contact should be made with the venue ahead of the customers visit.)
