To celebrate, the Arts Centre has introduced ‘Pay What You Can’ for some of its shows. Pay What You Can is all about trust. It’s about the audience, making a judgement for themselves.

There are three different price levels for guidance, all that’s being asked is that this Spring audiences take a chance on something new.
