First, you will enter the Set Theatre through this archway. It’s right next to Bridie’s Bar, which is painted bright blue.
Then, if you don’t have your tickets already, you can collect your tickets at the ticket desk which will be placed just inside the gate to your left. As you move past the desk, someone will check your tickets.
Then, you will be directed through the courtyard to the doors on the other side. You may have to queue.
As you enter the theatre, there will be volunteers, in volunteer t-shirts, that can help you find your seats, the bar, or the toilets. It will be dark like it is in the picture.
This venue has general seating, so you get to pick where you sit! There is a balcony upstairs and all of the chairs are soft and comfy for a seated event. If your event is a standing event, you can stand downstairs or if you get there early, you might be able to get a seat upstairs.
Please note: A few of the shows in the Set this year will have loud sounds or flashing lights. You can bring ear defenders, sunglasses, and fidgets to make the experience calmer. You can also get up and leave the theatre at any point if you want to leave. You can go back out to the courtyard that you walked through before if you need to take a break, but you might have to wait for the music to pause to be able to come back inside.
