If you’re a regular at our venues, then our Gold or Silver Memberships are excellent yearly investments to make your visits to Leeds Grand Theatre and City Varieties cheaper in the long run.
You’d only need to bring three friends with you to three Mon-Thu performances at The Grand, or one friend with you to five Mon-Thu performances at The Grand and you’ve already made back more than the £45 you pay for your Gold Membership, or the £30 you pay for Silver.
On top of that, the two memberships have discounts on our bars, offers on tickets at Hyde Park Picture House and our Gold Members enjoy discounts on parking and at local restaurants, bars and hotels.
Under 30s Membership
Our free Under 30s Membership is a no-brainer for anyone aged 18 – 30 looking to enjoy live entertainment but don’t feel splashing out on tickets would be sensible for their budgets. This also means that you don’t have to plan around life’s constant curveballs and book months in advance. Just show up on the day, relax and know you’ve not spent all your hard-earned pennies.
What you get…
A free membership offering £22 tickets at Leeds Grand Theatre and City Varieties Music Hall as well as £13 tickets to all National Theatre Live screenings.
Plus, events throughout the year to help you meet people who share your love of theatre.

Secret Seats
If you like to be the first in the queue to buy tickets, Secret Seats is a great way for you to save money as well as getting to see West End phenomenons, the best of comedy, ballet, drama and so much more.
Choose Secret Seats in the booking pathway, and you’ll bag £22 tickets for the best available seats on the day of the performance. If you like to see theatre on more rogue days of the week, this could mean you end up with a view worth triple what you paid.

A night out at the theatre with your friends and loved ones is good for the soul. We offer discounts to groups of 10+ but discounts vary from show to show. If you’re an educator, we also offer school discounts, meaning the barriers are lowered for students and young people wanting to engage with the magic of theatre.
To find out more, or to make a reservation, email groupbookings@leedsheritagetheatres.com or call 0113 297 7040 Mon – Fri, 9am-5pm.
Save with our resident companies
Our resident companies Northern Ballet and Opera North both offer ways to make ballet and opera more accessible to all.
Other ways to save
Off-peak performances
Our midweek performances of our week+ long shows tend to be cheaper than those on a Friday or at the weekend. If you find yourselves with free evenings midweek, or work weekends, this is a brilliant way to save on your theatre tickets.
Concessions
It may vary from show to show, but we do offer certain concessionary discounts on select tickets. For more information, get in touch with our Box Office.
