The venue opens at 4pm, and there's always a lovely atmosphere in the bar before an event, so you're welcome to come along early to enjoy the space with us. We recommend arriving for 6pm at the latest to settle in, get your popcorn, and find your seat, before the film starts at 6:30pm.

Theatreship is committed to broadening access to the arts - we know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some. If the regular ticket price is beyond what you feel able to afford for whatever reason, please don't hesitate to email us at tickets@theatreship.co.uk and we will do everything we can to help, no questions asked.

Due to the historic nature of the ship, we’re sorry to say there is not currently step-free access into the theatre space. We have dedicated staff on hand to help with stairs, and an onsite wheelchair once you’re inside the venue. If you have any access needs, please do e-mail us at access@theatreship.co.uk.
