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.

Susan is a miserable, bad tempered old witch who doesn’t like company. She lives in a nest, flies around scaring people and eats biscuits! The last thing she wants in her life is a giant egg… should she have it for breakfast or hatch it? And what will she do once it hatches?
The Birds have plenty of advice but Susan decides to ignore them and go it alone. Inspired by the book The Witch’s Egg by Madeleine Edmondson. One performer and a flock of shadow puppets tell an engaging and heartwarming story about friends, foolishness and flying away.
After the performance the audience are invited to stay and play with the shadow puppets. In a simple open-ended session, children and their families can discover the fun in playing with shadows and re-telling the story in their own words.
