When you arrive

Our main foyer is where you’ll find the bar, coffee bar and toilets (including one with wheelchair access). The box office, right by the main door, opens half an hour before each performance for you to collect your tickets.

Refreshments

The licensed bar opens half an hour before curtain up, during the interval and after the performance. You can order interval drinks in advance at the bar. Drinks may be taken into the auditorium and studio during performances in our plastic, recyclable glasses. During the interval, tea, coffee and biscuits are sold from the coffee bar to the right of the main bar. A range of delicious ice creams is sold in the foyer.

Children

Whilst we welcome children to many of our shows, we can’t accept them into our auditoria all the time. Specific rules relating to the admission of children are as follows:

• Babes in arms (children under the age of 18 months) will not be admitted to any performance where the Abbey Theatre judges that crying could disturb audience members
• Babies may sit on your lap, but a ticket must be purchased for children of 18 months and over
• Children under five will not usually be admitted to any show other than family shows
• Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult
• Any member of the audience (including children) will be required to leave if their behaviour is deemed to be disturbing other patrons

Parking

Parking in the car parks near the theatre is free after 6.30pm, and you don’t need a ticket. During the day you will need a ticket – although parking is free for the first two hours.
