There may be queues outside Leeds Grand Theatre, come rain or shine! It is likely to feel very busy. To avoid the longest wait times, we recommend arriving as early as possible (the theatre will open its doors one hour before the performance starts). You could also arrive closer to the performance start time, when most people will already be seated.

We offer an extended reservation period for group bookings with payment due one month before the performance and 1 complimentary group organiser ticket with bookings of 10+.

There are drop off points outside Leeds Grand Theatre and a variety of car parks within walking distance.
Please be aware that, being in the city centre, we are surrounded by some traffic restrictions and restricted routes!

Top tips for an easier drop off:

To be dropped-off outside Leeds Grand Theatre:
If you are travelling from York Road, take the exit onto Vicar Lane. Then turn right up Harrison Street and right again onto New Briggate.

If you are travelling from Merrion Street, follow the road until New Briggate, taking the right lane onto Vicar Lane. Then turn right up Harrison Street and right again onto New Briggate.

If you are travelling from Leeds Playhouse or Leeds Bus Station by taxi, your driver can only use The Headrow and then turn right onto Vicar Lane from 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm.

To be dropped-off outside ‘Q-Park at St John’s Centre’:
If you or your taxi driver are directed to a restricted route, use ‘Q-Park at St John’s Centre’ as your destination (5 minutes’ walk, roughly 0.20 km away). From here, follow Merrion Street until New Briggate and follow the right lane to Vicar Lane. Then turn right up Harrison Street and right again onto New Briggate.

You will receive extra travel and parking information before the show.

For further information you can view the Leeds City Centre Blue Badge Parking map and you can download the Leeds City Centre Traffic Restriction Routes Map and Disabled Routes Map.

There will be additional signage in our front of house areas to help you find your way around the venue more easily. There will also be friendly staff on hand if you need any extra assistance.

Yes, all front of house staff and volunteers will have attended a Dementia Friends information session and taken part in in-house training. If you need any help, look for a member of Leeds Grand Theatre staff.

There are accessible toilets at the back of the Stalls and Dress Circle levels.

Tea, coffee and ice-creams will be available to buy in both bar areas during the interval which you can choose to pre-order.

English surtitles will be displayed on large screens at either side of the stage. You will receive a synopsis in the pre-show information pack and there will be a presenter who will welcome you at the start of the performance and do a short recap before the second half.

There will be a relaxed attitude to people needing to leave or return to the auditorium during the show and designated quiet areas for a break. Low lighting will remain on in the auditorium during the performance so you will be able to see what is going on around you.
