To ensure we have plenty of time to plan for and market our diverse and challenging programme we book shows and spaces 6 - 12 months in advance of the performance date.

That means that if you would like to put on a show in July then the latest you should get in touch with us is the start of February.

We also have periods of the year when we have more opportunity for our stages to be hired.

These are: February: First 2 weeks March: Final 2 weeks May: All month June: All month July: All month September: First 3 weeks
