Due to Amber weather warnings forecasted for Saturday 19 July, we have made the decision to move Levellers Open Air Concert into our Auditorium to ensure the safety of both our customers and the team facilitating the event.

Your tickets will remain valid but please note there will be a first come, first served operation in place with limited capacities in the standing and unreserved balcony areas. Customers will be wrist banded in order to gain entry to the standing area.

This event is now completely SOLD OUT.

We will open the doors one hour later than previously scheduled at 3pm.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your support in making this event go ahead. We look forward to welcoming you for what is sure to be a fantastic day of live music.

Summer Nights by the Sea is a FORM presentation.
