A Night Less Ordinary Theatre Royal Margate, together with the Gulbenkian Theatre in Canterbury and Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, is offering a limited
number of free tickets to selected shows as part of the Free Theatre Initiative, ‘A Night Less Ordinary’. Free tickets are available to people
under the age of 26 subject to availability, but are not available to school groups and other group bookers. ‘A Night Less Ordinary’ is an Arts Council England scheme, supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, to get more young
people into theatres across the country. The £2.5 million scheme will provide 618,000 free theatre tickets to anyone under 26 in more than
200 venues across England, between February 2009 and March 2011.
We are passionate about the benefits that theatre can have on the lives of children and young people. We hope this initiative will make it
easier for families to come through our doors and for young people to book tickets for themselves for the first time.
To Book tickets on the Free Theatre Initiative – ‘A Night Less Ordinary’ at Theatre Royal Margate please call 0845 130 1786.
