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: Unreserved seated
Joyful Noiz is a special moment for connection for our disability community. We will raise the roof off ARC with two sessions making up this morning – you can attend one or both.
10am – 11am: An opportunity for inclusive community singing with Systemic Choir and others.
11am – 12pm: A spectacular drumming performance from Beat This from The Lawnmowers Independent Theatre Company. Get ready to feel the beat. Expect booming rhythms, infectious energy, and a full-on celebration of community and creativity. This isn’t just a performance, it’s a street-shaking, heart-thumping experience you won’t forget! There will be percussion instruments for a short participation element. So you can just watch or join in!
Part of the Our Stomping Grounds Festival 2025 Celebrating Learning Disabled Neurodivergent Culture.

Access Information - Joyful Noiz
Information – Joyful Noiz is an event that consists of an hour of participatory singing and an hour of a drumming performance with some opportunities for percussive participation. Depending on the sizes of the groups and audiences both of these events are likely to be noisy, with the percussion and drumming also having elements of unpredictability of sound levels. Participants will be encouraged to take part respectfully but the reality is that it is about celebratory and community noise-making.
