We want our audiences to know what to expect from us.

  • We offer friendly and polite service, helping wherever we are able, right across our organisation
  • Our staff will use their experience and knowledge of the venue and programme to enhance your visit to The Glasshouse.

We’re committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for our audiences, artists and staff. We reserve the right to remove visitors from the premises and/or affiliated events if we feel that their behaviour is negatively impacting the experience of our audiences, if they are acting in an intimidating, aggressive or violent manner, or if they are endangering themselves or people around them. Such incidents may result in a prolonged, or lifetime, ban from entering the venue or affiliated events.
