WHAT TO EXPECT
You’ll be encouraged to arrive at 1pm to enjoy the pre-show entertainment. At 1.15pm, you’ll make your way either to your stage-side table (if watching the show from one) or reserved seats in one of our private bar areas - where afternoon tea and champagne will be served by our private hosts.
Food will be cleared from your table shortly before 2pm, with those sat in our private bar areas invited to take their seats in the auditorium for the performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED TICKETING QUESTIONS
Yes, we offer a vegan alternative – although please note this won’t be a traditional afternoon tea. The vegan option consists of houmous, chickpeas, gordal olives, rosemary crackers, sweet potato falafel, coconut yoghurt and pomegranate seeds. This can be requested by contacting [email protected] after booking, or just let your host know upon arrival.
Gluten free options will be available upon request at the venue. The Willkommen package includes the following allergens: Gluten – Wheat, Fish, Soya, Egg, Milk and Tree Nuts – Almonds. We are unfortunately unable make changes to the ingredients (other than gluten free alternatives) to cater to people with any of these allergies.
While we take extreme cautions to minimise the risk of cross contamination, all our food is prepared in a kitchen where nuts, gluten & other allergens are present, therefore cannot guarantee a completely allergen free environment.
Yes – subject to availability, it is possible to book a party of any size into one of our private areas to enjoy the pre-show Willkommen experience.
We offer a different offering during evening performances which we call the Entrée Experience, which includes a choice of Meat & Cheese Charcuterie or Vegan Antipasti box and two glasses of Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial Champagne or cocktails. Click here to find out more.
Please fill out this online form to register your interest. Our box office will get in touch direct to confirm if there is still availability and collected additional details..
There is only space for 24 patrons per performance in our private areas. So if you cannot see it, it unfortunately means that our reserved areas in this bar are fully booked for this evening. You are still very welcome to visit this bar to order cocktails and snacks upon arrival – we just can’t guarantee you a seat.
