About The Lyceum
Your visit to The Lyceum
We ask that you arrive at the venue in plenty of time as latecomers may not be admitted.
Please note that you should try to avoid bringing large bags or luggage into the venue. A manned cloakroom in the main foyer will be available.
The Lyceum encourages access for all, but recommend parents or guardians do not bring infants less than two years of age into the auditorium due to potential disturbance.
Should a babe in arms become restless and cause a disturbance, the parent/guardian will be requested to leave the auditorium with the child so as not to disturb other customers. The venue reserves the right to not re-admit.
Children over the age of two require a seat and therefore a paid ticket.
Performance specific age recommendations may supersede these guidelines, so please check when booking your tickets.
Please contact The Lyceum if you have any specific questions about your visit to this venue.
