How to Find Us

YOUR VISIT

ACCESS

To come to Groundlings Theatre you must come to the main Gate of the Historic Dockyard, Victory Gate. Entry is free to come into the Dockyard and you maybe asked for a bag search on entry during the opening hours of the museums within the Historic Dockyard, so please do allow time for this.

Boathouse 5, where the theatre is located is 1 minute from Victory Gate and is the green building on your right as you enter. The building has step free access for everyone so we can welcome even more people to the theatre than ever before!

FOOD AND DRINK

Groundlings Theatre has a bar that serves a varied range of alcoholic and soft drinks including tea and coffee and a range of snacks and ice cream. The bar is open for a minimum of 45 minutes before performances and during the interval. Interval drinks can be pre-ordered, please ask a member of bar staff for further information.

PARENTAL GUIDANCE

Age restrictions are stated where possible but please do check with Box Office before booking for any under 18s to ensure the show is suitable. Most shows are suitable for children, with parental guidance. For events that permit the attendance of under 18s, children aged 12 or under must be accompanied by someone over the age of 16. No responsibility is accepted by The Groundlings Theatre Trust or any of its employees for unaccompanied children.
