We are processing refunds as quickly as possible but this process is taking much longer than usual due to a reduced workforce remote working and the amount of people we must contact. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding

In person:

Leeds Grand Theatre’s Box Office is open from 2.30pm, Monday to Saturday, closing at 6pm on non-show days and 30 mins after the show starts on show days. When we have shows on Sundays and Bank Holidays we open one hour prior to the show starting and close 30 minutes after the show starts. We do not advise visitors to book in person; booking online helps to minimise contact and keep everybody safe. N.B. City Varieties Box Office is currently closed, only opening one hour before a screening or live performance.

Ordinarily, tickets for our venues can be emailed, printed at home or collected from our Box Offices. However, we are currently not able to post any tickets due to COVID-19. You will receive electronic versions via email to be printed at home or shown on your phone when we reopen

Leeds Heritage Theatres encourages all patrons to request electronic versions of their tickets, which can be scanned upon entry, to be more considerate to the planet

These seats are often sold at a discount because of their view and are sometimes only available directly from Box Office.

Leeds Heritage Theatres offers the option to add refund protection to your bookings at Leeds Grand Theatre and City Varieties Music Hall.

Provided by Booking Protect, this allows you to apply for a full refund should you, or anyone in your party, be unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances including injury, illness, breakdown and adverse weather.

The option to buy Booking Protect will automatically be offered at the time of booking online, in person and over the phone.

For full details of what is covered please contact our Box Office or click here.

Refunds made by Booking Protect will be issued via a Bank Transfer regardless of the original payment method.

Due to ongoing concerns over COVID-19, you can request a monetary refund up to one month before the date of the performance you’re due to attend. Alternatively, you can request a credit note up to two weeks before the performance date. This is subject to change at any time

Booking fees are non-refundable. Currently, they are being used to support the huge administration costs incurred because of the pandemic, including refunding and rescheduling shows, and to also help maintain our three heritage buildings until we can reopen

For your own piece of mind, Leeds Heritage Theatres strongly suggests you buy tickets direct from our venues (through our website or Box Office), but if purchasing from an agent, we highly recommend that they are reputable and do not sell tickets at inflated prices. Please note, your terms and conditions regarding refunds or exchanges are with the agent and not Leeds Heritage Theatres. We’re sorry, but we are unable to amend bookings made by agents.

Anybody who purchased a membership throughout closure, or that expired before March 31 2021, your membership is now valid until June 30 2022. We want to thank you for the support and loyalty you have shown us since the pandemic forced our venues to close on March 17 2020. It has been incredibly tough for everyone financially, but by you purchasing a membership for the first time, or renewing an old one, it means that we can raise our curtains again and start welcoming back audiences for the first time in over 14 months. What will you come to next?
