All booking are non-refundable once the booking has been completed - please read more about Bookings & Cancelation below

Showtimes will be e-mailed to all completed bookings.

Entry to the pub is restricted to persons aged 18 years or over unless attending a Booked Family Show or Kids Magic Master Class

We operate the "Challenge 25 scheme, therefore clubs reserve the right to request proof of age if you look under 25 you. (ID Accepted: Valid Passport or Valid Drivers Licence)

Although the venue will endeavour to have all your party on one table larger party's may be split across tables and the smaller parties may be sharing their table with other parties.

DRUNK AND DISRUPTIVE CUSTOMERS

Customers who turn up on the door who we believe to be drunk will not be admitted. From experience, customers who are drunk even before the show has started are invariably problematic later on, usually heckling, talking during the show or just being a general nuisance. 

If someone in the group you have organised is drunk at the door they will be refused entry without being refunded. This does not mean the whole group is refused entry but if you decide you don't wish to come in because one of your group has been turned away then that does not mean you are collectively entitled to a refund, if a member of your group is disruptive during the show, we will remove the said person without hesitation and no refunds will be given to anyone if you wish to leave with the disruptive guest, so we ask that you respect all other guest and artists.

DURING THE SHOW

While we want you to enjoy our shows at Smoke & Mirrors it is important to remember that customers also need to consider other people in the room. So, bearing this in mind, we request that:

VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Mobile phones are switched to silent during the show as making and receiving calls, including texting, is rude and inconsiderate.

There is no talking during the show as this is disruptive and annoying for those sat around you and for the performer.

There is no heckling or constant interruptions of the magicians or comedians. People have paid to listen to the act not to listen to someone else in the audience.

And finally, owing to the proliferation of portable recording devices, it is requested that customers don't make any audio or video recordings of acts or use flash photography during the show.

Customers who break these house rules will be asked politely to refrain from heckling or talking during the show. Persistent offenders will be asked to leave without being refunded.

Also please note shows are strictly for over 18's as graphic language will be used throughout the show, so if you are easily offended by swearing this show may not be for you, we do offer a family for all ages you can find these details on our webpage

PRIVATE BOOKINGS

Please note that if you are booking the whole theatre for an event we as a theatre will seat all guests and allocate tables as your guests arrive this helps with congestion within the theatre, we understand that some of your guests may not want to sit in the front row but as this is a Magic Show and not stand up comedy not one of your guests will be made to do anything they do not wish to do, but we ask that your guests are informed that the show requires audience participation, so by informing your guests that they could be on stage would be of great help to the magicians, also if you have anything the magicians need to know before the show we would be happy to pass this is on to the magicians to make sure the show is even more special.
