At the Shaftesbury Theatre, we are proud to have a professional and dedicated front of house team, always happy to go the extra mile for our visitors. During your visit, our friendly staff are on hand to answer any questions you may have or provide guidance when needed.
We open our doors 90 minutes prior to the show which allows our audience members to purchase refreshments from one of our three bars. The 1911 is near the stalls, the Crewe Bar is on the Royal Circle level, and the Melville on the Grand Circle. Menus are displayed on screens in the bars and available in physical copies.
Indulge in a wide selection of beverages including beers and ciders, wines, cocktails and soft drinks, along with snacks and programmes.
While The 1911 offers full accessibility with step-free access via lift, the Crewe Bar has a few steps. If you have any questions about accessibility for your visit, you can find more information here.
