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.

An exhibition of original artwork by
Katy Cole / Annie O’Donnell / Sarah Tulloch
Bobby Benjamin
Connor Clements
Charlie Howard
Thomas Tyler
Curated by Bobby Benjamin
‘DISTRACTION’ is a collection of artwork presented by Bobby Benjamin’s nomadic exhibition project, Dovetail Joints, in response to the title theme.
The exhibition brings together practitioners from across the North to converse, engage and develop new work in response to a central thematic.
With a range of practitioners from different backgrounds, and at varying stages in their career, the projects aim is to produce and display a collection of artwork resplendent in its diversity yet tethered by a shared concern.
The exhibition features the continuation of a three-way visual dialogue between experienced practitioners Katy Cole, Annie O’Donnell and Sarah Tulloch (Platform A, Vane), responsive to both the theme of the show, each others practice and a wider political climate.
This runs alongside individual explorations of the subject matter from mixed media artists Thomas Tyler and artist/musician Charlie Howard (Uncle Buzzard), installation artist and Dovetail Joints founder Bobby Benjamin (Pineapple Black, The House of Blah Blah) and architectural artist Connor Clements.
Through a plethora of visual styles and techniques, this group of artists have conducted a practical investigation which is both expansive and reflective, addressing subjects from the minutia of the everyday individual experience to the vastness of our worldly concerns.
