Saltmarket Hall

Your visit

Before you come

Doors open 45 minutes before the start. The box office keeps the tickets, the bar takes cards, and the river door is step-free.

The foyer: an oak box office counter with a brass lamp, a rack of printed programmes and a brick arch into the hall.

What people ask

When do the doors open?

Forty-five minutes before the start, for the foyer, the bar and the hall. Seats are unreserved unless the event page says otherwise, so the early ones choose.

Can I bring a bag or a coat?

Yes. There is a free cloakroom in the foyer for coats, bags and buggies. Large suitcases we can keep behind the box office.

Is there a bar?

The Yard bar opens with the doors and through every interval: local beer and cider, wine, soft drinks and coffee. You can take drinks into the Nave in our glasses.

Can I bring children?

Yes, to anything without an age on its page. Under-fives come free to the Sunday at Four concerts and the family mornings, sitting on a lap.

What if I arrive late?

We let latecomers in at a suitable break, to the back of the hall or the gallery. For theatre that is the interval.

I can’t come any more. Can I get my money back?

Up to 48 hours before the start, yes, in full. After that we resell the seat if the event sells out and refund you then.

By bike
Twenty stands in the Yard, under cover, and more along the railings on the river path.
