Booking information

Please contact our Box Office on 0113 213 7700 or email groups@leedsplayhouse.org.uk to reserve and/or book in your group or school (10 tickets or more).

Groups of 10+ get £5 off tickets on the top 2 price bands*.

School ticket prices vary according to each production, the range is listed on the show’s webpage. To help support your visit, every 11th seat will be free of charge. When booking, please provide the total number of seats required including staff.

Schools tickets are for Monday to Friday performances only and may be available in limited numbers. You are still welcome to book once this limit is reached, but the standard discount rates will apply. Please note, we strongly discourage students from taking notes during performances at Leeds Playhouse.

You can also pre-order ice creams and programmes when you make your booking, so they’re waiting for you before the show or at the interval. If you’re with a coach then you can drop off just outside the door, and there’s plenty of coach parking nearby.

*Group and school booking discounts are subject to availability and may not apply to all shows. Group and school booking discounts are currently unavailable online.

Age recommendation is assessed according to the complexity and sensitivity of issues, images, sexual references and strength of language used in both Leeds Playhouse and visiting productions. Any sensitive content is highlighted on the show’s web pages where possible. This information may not be available to us until nearer to the performance date, so please check back for updates.

We encourage schools, parents or guardians to call our Box Office with any specific concerns or questions regarding sensitive material in the productions.

If you arrive late for the start of a performance or after an interval we appreciate that you will want to take your seat as soon as possible. To limit disturbance to fellow audience members and artists we may have to ask you to wait until a suitable break in the performance and/or show you to seats at the back of the auditorium. Occasionally this may not be possible once the performance has started.

Booking in person at the Box Office carries no charge, a £2.50 booking fee per transaction applies to bookings made online and over the telephone. We accept payment by cash, card or invoice (for group and/or school bookings). Personal cheques are no longer accepted due to the guarantee card system no longer in use.

Please note, it has been brought to our attention that under 18s wishing to pay for food and beverage with a bank card have restrictions on their payment method due to the Playhouse being licensed to sell alcohol. We advise under 18s wishing to purchase food and beverage items during their visit bring cash or check account restrictions with their bank ahead of their visit. We’re sorry for any inconvenience and are looking into this.

Tickets are required for each child attending a performance. Discounts for children under 18 are subject to availability. Free Babe in Arms tickets are available for children under 12 months (the child will not have their own seat but sit with you). Children and Babe in Arms tickets can be booked online.

Some performances have age guidance; please read the information on the show’s webpage or call the Box Office for details.

Parents are reminded that some performances are not suitable for young children. We do not advise that children under 14 attend the theatre without a responsible adult and venue staff accept no responsibility for any unaccompanied children under 18.

We offer concessions for most performances. Only one concession or discount can be applied per ticket. Child ticket refers to under 18. Full time Students should be in possession of a valid student ID or NUS card. We reserve the right to check proof of eligibility at any point and entry will be refused if you are found to have purchased a concession you are not entitled to.

Schools concessions are to enable educational establishments to bring groups of pupils or students to see performances at a reduced rate. They are not transferable to adults and cannot be used by groups of staff (School Group rate seats are available for groups of 10 or more).

Concessions must be stated at the time of booking.
