One week to go! 🐰☔ When it begins raining in the Woodland, the Rabbit shuts themself away in their warren and refuses to come outside. The Rain feels bad – it feels like all of their worst thoughts and feelings. Together, the Rabbit’s friends work out what will truly help them through until the Sun comes back out again.

The Rabbit & The Rain is suitable for all ages. Tickets are just £5 or 'pay what you feel'.

Please allow extra time to get to tonight’s performance of Brassed Off, as there is a cricket game on at the grounds near our theatre. This means that the area is very busy and parking is extremely scarce. We encourage you to avoiding driving if you can – maybe take a leaf out of Danny’s book and get on your bike! 🚲 The show starts at 7:30pm, don’t be late!

Brassed Off opened last night to uproarious success! Congratulations to all involved on a fantastic production.

As this run is fully sold out, we would like to remind audiences that there will be no tickets available on the door for this production – please do not turn up at the theatre unless you have purchased a ticket in advance.

We understand it's disappointing to miss out on tickets, which is why we always encourage you to book early. There is a waiting list function available on Ticketsource. If you would like to be notified of any returned tickets, please join this list.

Please note especially that as per policy, we are unable to resell seats in the event of no-shows and we also can't "just squeeze in another seat", so please don't ask the front of house team to make exceptions. The answer will be no!

For those of you who snagged a ticket – we will see you soon! Don't be late! 🎺
