This page will give you the information you will need to know about visiting The Arches Theatre this summer. Please read carefully as there are some important things to be aware of and a helpful list of items you may want to bring with you. If you can’t find the information you are looking for, please contact us.
Our address is The Arches Theatre, Church Farm, Clifton Reynes, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5DT
As you enter the village of Clifton Reynes, continue along the main road with the Robin Hood Inn on your left-hand side. Continue roughly 200 yards until you reach Church Farm on your right. Follow the drive round and you will be directed by one of the team to the car park.
When arriving at the venue, vehicles will drive approximately a quarter of a mile along a farm track and then through a field which will take you down to The Arches Theatre. Marshalled parking will be in the lower field next to the venue. Please follow the instructions given by the marshals.
We also have accessible parking and a drop-off point. If you mention to our Front of House team at the gate or in the parking area that you require accessible parking, they will be able to point you in the right direction.
The gates will open approximately 1 - 1.5 hours before your performance starts. Please check the performance information which will be sent to you before the event. Please do not arrive before the gate opening time as you may not be granted access to the venue.
Please have your e-tickets available to show our Front of House team on arrival. We operate a paperless system.
DON’T FORGET YOUR CHAIR! Otherwise you won’t have anything to sit on to watch the performance. We don’t have any seats available.
Camping chairs are ideal, but please ensure they are not oversized or high-backed as this can block the view of the person behind. If you do have a high-back chair, we will position you at the rear of the seating area.
Seating is on a first come first served basis. We need to fill the seating area according to our plan, so please be patient with our Front of House team. Don’t panic – every seat has a great view of the stage.
We welcome you to bring a picnic, plus alcoholic and soft drinks, and enjoy it in the parkland before the show.
Please note BBQs and camping stoves are NOT permitted.
We don’t sell any food or drinks at the venue. We occasionally have The Willen Ice Cream Company with us.
Portaloo’s are available.
Please note that dogs (and other animals!) are not permitted at the venue.
We welcome you to take photographs at the event. Please do not film/record the performances.
If you do take photos during your time with us, please share them with us on our social media channels – @archestheatre – Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Please use the hashtag #archestheatre
Our publicity team will be taking photographs and videos throughout the event (on arrival, picnic and production) and will share these on The Arches Theatre website and social media channels.
If you don’t want to be in our publicity material, please tell a member of The Arches team as soon as possible.
