All our outdoor shows are presented in the style of “Picnic Theatre”. This means there are no seats provided and you are encouraged to bring along anything that will make your experience more comfortable, such as: a blanket, cushions, beanbags or camping chairs.
You may bring along a chair of any height, however please keep in mind that chairs raised more than 15cm off the ground will be placed at the back of the lawn so as to not obstruct the view of other guests.
Chair hire is also available onsite for $5 each, subject to availability. Seating cannot be reserved in advance.
A-Reserve - This section comes with pre-allocated low-rise chairs. There is no need to bring along your own.
