Dynamic Pricing
ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.
ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!
We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.
Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.
All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.
Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.
Seating: Unallocated - Cabaret
Threading together the past, present, future and alternative realities like a surreal mash-up of Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas tale and Lewis Carrol’s perennial favourite, Wunderland is a brand new, multi-media arts event curated by award-winning singer-songwriter Amelia Coburn. With a gaggle of invited guests and oddness on the periphery, much like Amelia’s music, it’s a glimpse into the shadows at the corner of your eye. Music, comedy, visual arts and unique performances blend into one to fashion an alternative feast for all.
AMELIA COBURN
No stranger to ARC, TVCA Artist of The Year, Amelia has had an incredible year in 2024, releasing her critically acclaimed debut studio album “Between the Moon and the Milkman” which was produced by Bill Ryder-Jones (Founding member of The Coral and now a much-sought after-solo artist and producer) hit the UK charts and stayed on the official Folk Charts for four months. With a successful solo tour, international dates under her belt and a full band now in tow to bring the songs to stunning life, fans have witnessed a next-level transformation in her live shows this year and this night will prove no different. Her songs are filled with mysteries and shadows, perfect for the dark of Winter. Keen to keep moving forward and not present the same show twice Amelia has curated a “wunderbox” of delights for those who crave something from the darker edges of entertainment.
SCOTT TURNBULL
Fellow TVCA Artist of The Year, and much like Amelia, Scott has developed a unique world of his own with absurdist, surreal imagery and humour threaded through his visual and performance work. His debut show – “Where Do All The Dead Pigeons Go?” – immediately established Scott as a supreme storyteller in full control of the audience’s emotional journey from side-splitting laughter to sudden floods of tears. Ever enigmatic and wrong-footing expectation it’s anyone’s guess what Scott will bring to the proceedings but we guarantee you’ll love it.
BOB FISCHER
The closest thing Teesside has to a Timelord, Bob has been a face on the music and entertainment scene for years but has never settled into one role. From hosting BBC Introducing on BBC Tees to writing for national music and culture magazines alongside hosting live events steeped in the world of Hauntology, Bob will take us back to through his inky blue memories of Christmas 1984 and in particular the TV show The Box of Delights which remains an evocative and charming piece of work for children of all ages.
