Are you ready to book your tickets? Please read through the following notes to familiarise yourself with how things are done at LTH.
Tickets may be booked online, over the phone or in person at our Box Office.
- Box Office: 01509 231914
- Email: box.office@charnwood.gov.uk
The Box Office is open Monday – Saturday, 9am – 5:30pm or half an hour before the start time of the show you are coming to see.
You can also use our secure online booking service.
Internet Bookings
Tickets can be booked online until the morning of the performance, after this time tickets can be purchased through the Town Hall Box Office or at the door, availability permitting.
Please be aware that our internet booking system will allocate the best available seat. If you would like to choose a specific seat, please discuss your seating requirements with us, the Box Office staff are on hand to advise (see above for opening times).
Seat rows and numbers are allocated for pre-selected reserved seating only.
For events such as Comedy Clubs and Literature at Lunchtime seating is unreserved, and in these cases customers may sit where they like according to availability. Therefore tickets will not display a seat number, and seats are allocated on a first come first served basis.
Seating
Please take a look at our seating plan for the Main Hall. This is the most common configuration although for technical reasons, it may alter slightly.
