In our busy arts venue, there are loads of opportunities to get involved with internships, traineeships, theatre, and music. And, if you want to make some extra money, there are opportunities to come and work as part of our team. Check out our Jobs page for more information on work opportunities.
£5 student tickets
We want to make sure everyone can enjoy the great performances we put on, so we offer £5 student tickets on selected shows!
These are available to all Further Education and Higher Education students. Just select the ‘student’ option when you book.
No student tickets left? Two and a half hours before a show or event, students can buy any unsold seats for £5. To buy these you need to call our box office on 0115 846 7777 or pop in in person.
