TERMS & CONDITIONS
Key Points:
The Spa reserves the right to refuse admission to the ticket holder if in the reasonable opinion of The Spa admission of the holder to the Venue might be a risk to the safety of the audience and/or the holder and/or affect the enjoyment of the audience and/or the running of the performance, for example if the holder appears to be under the influence of drink and/or drugs and/or is acting aggressively.
The Management reserve the right to alter the programme, cast and times due to unforeseen circumstances or reasons beyond the control of The Spa Pavilion. Once purchased the tickets cannot be refunded. Once purchased tickets may only be exchanged for the same priced tickets within the same production, subject to availability, if returned to the Box Office no later than 48 hours prior to the performance. An administration exchange charge of £3.00 per ticket will be made.
Once purchased tickets may not be re-sold or transferred for profit or commercial gain by any other outlet than the Spa Pavilion Box Office or one of its authorised agents. Failure to comply will make the ticket void. As such, tickets re-sold and/or bought on internet auction or ticket re-sale sites will be void and therefore entry to the theatre may be prohibited.
The theatre operates a re-sale service only for shows that have sold out. A £3.00 per ticket fee is payable on all successful re-sales by the seller of the unwanted ticket. The Spa Pavilion cannot accept responsibility for an unsuccessful re-sell. Conditions of sale are available upon request.
The Spa Pavilion charge a £5 booking fee for all purchases made by credit/debit card, cash and cheque. This charge covers administration, ticketing and financial costs. Our building is hugely expensive to run, maintain and improve, there is also the option for you to add a 5% Donation as a Restoration Levy at check out. Such donations will be ring-fenced for improvements to our building. On-line and web ticket sales may only be paid for by a Credit Card issued by a UK bank, with tickets posted to the registered cardholder address for a small fee. All other purchases must be made in person at our Box Office or through an Authorised Agent. Photo ID will be required for non-UK Bank Issued Cards.
Where an event is cancelled, with no alternative performance available, a full refund will be honoured on all tickets purchased including booking fees. No further compensation will be offered. Where an event is cancelled due to ‘force majeure’ events, such as (but not limited to) war, terrorism, earthquake or a national pandemic flu outbreak restricting population movement, re-scheduled dates or alternative events, at our absolute discretion, will be offered as soon as practical. No refund of tickets will be made.
Some concerts contain high noise levels, pyrotechnics and strobe lighting. Every effort will be made to notify customers by way of signage on the evening. However, we cannot accept responsibility for any issues resulting from the above. If information regarding usage of the above is required prior to the event please contact the Box Office.
Some acts and performers will encourage the audience to stand and/or dance. We want your experience to be as enjoyable as possible, but we have to be mindful that not all theatregoers can or wish to stand or dance. We therefore have rules in place to try and ensure enjoyment for all, with a designated area for standing and dancing. You MUST follow our rules and guidance of our staff when attending a show. Failure to follow our guidance, rules, or to be rude or aggressive or obviously intoxicated, will result in you being asked to leave the performance.
Spa Pavilion Productions Ltd is registered with the Data Protection Registrar. In accordance with the GDPR 2016/679 and 2018, customers are asked at the point of sale whether they wish to be contacted with information of future events. If permission is granted, we will NEVER sell or rent your details to any third party. Full details of our Data Protection policy can be obtained on request.
In the event of a performance cancellation or postponement, the Management will offer tickets for an alternative performance (subject to availability) to the seat value already purchased or a refund at their absolute discretion. No liability whatsoever is accepted for any loss or damages in excess of the ticket price and booking fee paid.

CARER TICKETS AND ACCESSIBILITY
The Spa is a privately owned business, not a state subsidised theatre. However, we make every effort to accommodate those with disability or additional needs. We have two accessible WC’s, in the main foyer and in The Lounge Restaurant. We have customised our ticketing software to make us one of the very few theatres in the country which offers disabled visitors the means to book their seat or wheelchair space online, as would any other visitor.
We are pleased to offer concessionary rate tickets to registered carers, for some performances, at our absolute discretion. 'Registered carers' shall be defined as those who are attending the performance in the capacity of paid employment, with a completely dependent person, who requires constant support.
Concessionary prices, when available, are also extended to all of those with disability, as they are to children under 16 and senior citizens over 65.
