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.
No pressure play-about with words for beginners and recovering perfectionists. Tickets are available to book here.
You can also book to attend an online workshop here.
Writing can be difficult. How do you find the time and inspiration in a busy and demanding world? What if you are new to it all? Still traumatised by classrooms of WWII poetry and iambic pentameters? OR you’re experienced and just sitting around waiting for the inspired thunderbolt which just doesn’t seem to come. Fear not, pulp poetry is the answer for you. From a poet who writes all the time and has yet to produce a pamphlet or collection.
Join Caroline for 2 hours of writing about the mundane, uninspiring – the everyday of all our realities. There’s no pressure to produce anything except a soft, generally shapeless, mass of words. Describe the teapot or a piece of fluff on the carpet. List all the items in a kitchen drawer. Unsequence your morning routine. Who knows what will happen! But we’ll have a laugh along the way and feel better about our writing. This workshop is the antidote to literary pressure and unrealistic expectations – PULP POETRY.
