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.

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.

Booking Protect T&Cs.

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?
