Our team are available to help via phone or walk-ins Monday – Friday 10am to 1pm.

By Road
Sat Nav users should use BB2 4HT.
The Theatre is easily accessible from Junction 4 of the M65 via the A666 toward Blackburn Town Centre. A large open car park is located on Aqueduct Road beside the Theatre, and parking is free of charge.
On Blackburn Rovers match days, the car park remains available to theatre customers, though football attendees may also use it. We recommend arriving early to secure a space, particularly when show times are close to kick-off.
Theatre doors open at least one hour before each performance. If a show coincides with a football match, we may open the doors earlier to support access to parking. Ticket holders will be contacted directly if this applies to their event.
