What happens if I need to leave my seat or any reason?
Unlike the theatre, you are not confined to your seat and feel free to move around. You may need to make a call, go to the toilet, or just fancy a chat at the bar. Our only restrictions apply when the specialty acts are performing. You cannot (other than in an emergency) get up during these 15 minute slots. If you choose to leave your seat prior to the act, you will not be ble to get back to your seat until that segment is finished. This is a health and safetly point. You will have to sit or stand the remaining time wherever you happen to be. However, from there you will be able to see the act nearest.

The entertaining and feasting ends at approximately 10:30 and we stay open till midnight. The bar is open and there is music and dancing and you can meet with the cast.
