EVENT BOOKING INFORMATION
We run our own box office, with a long-standing team of local professional staff committed to customer service.
We recommend that you book online where possible. Should you select the ‘Print at Home’ option for your tickets, please note that our scanners cannot read screenshots, so please make sure you have the original eTicket, or printed version with you.
We strongly recommend ticket buyers to take out Ticket Protection insurance with Secure My Booking available when you book your tickets at check out.
A few important things to note:
- It is important to keep your contact details, particularly your email address, up-to-date should we need to contact you. Please log into your account and update your own details.
- In the instance that your event has been rescheduled to another date, your tickets will be valid for that event on the new date. There is no need to contact Box Office, we will contact you directly via email.
For all event information, you will be sent a pre-show email 24-48hrs before your event which will have key details such as start times, and entry conditions. Please read all information before you come to the event, and check your Junk folder in case your email has gone there.

You will not receive a refund on booking fees or postage.
We appreciate that many people will be grateful to receive refunds on rescheduled or cancelled events. However, if you are unable to attend, your decision not to ask for a refund will support DLWP and in turn will help us support our communities, audiences, the music ecosystem around us, our staff and local businesses.
Half of our income comes from people spending money at the Pavilion on tickets, at the bar during concerts and gigs, in the shop and in our Café Bar. As we are a Charity (no.1065586), you can help us by:
– Donating some, or all of the price of your ticket back to us. Please tell Box Office how much you would like to donate.
– Use your ticket money to buy a DLWP membership and continue supporting us whilst enjoying fantastic benefits
– Allow us to retain your ticket money on credit to your account to be used for future shows.
Please contact customerservice@dlwp.com if you would like to support us one of these ways.
We are unable offer a refund if the performer is on site, the performance goes ahead but the ticket holder is unable to attend the venue.
If an event you have booked for has been rescheduled or cancelled, you will receive an email from us (please check the email address that you used when you booked your tickets and please check your junk or spam folder). Any up to date information will be on our website and we will be announcing any changes in our programme via our social media channels.
