Children under 5 are not admitted except for shows where otherwise stated. All children must have their own seat.
We are unable to refund any tickets. Tickets may be exchanged for another performance of the same show as long as sufficient notice is given. Subject to admin fee and availability.
Transaction Fees :
For shows at the Lighthouse Theatre a transaction fee applies to all online and telephone bookings. No cash or card fees will apply to booking in person at the box office. Friends of the Lighthouse do not pay a fee in any instance, nor do group bookings with over 10 tickets. The fee is £2 per transaction. Fees have been introduced to support the running costs of the Lighthouse theatre. As ticket revenue is divided between many different parties an increase in ticket prices may not necessarily benefit the theatre. By adding a small transaction charge, we ensure that every penny goes directly to the venue itself.
Thank you for your continued support and benefiting the arts in Kettering.
