To arrange this, simply add a complimentary carer ticket to your basket when booking online. Otherwise, contact the box office directly at foh@cptheatre.co.uk if you need further support. Your tickets will be available for you to pick up from the box office on the night of your visit in the usual way.

If at any time during your visit you have any concerns please let a member of staff know. At least one member of Box Office staff working each night will have completed basic health and safety training. We have a basic first aid kit onsite, and CPT is 5 minutes away from University College Hospital and a 7 minute walk away from A&E. Both of these are located roughly opposite Warren Street station. Assistance dogs We welcome assistance and guide dogs in CPT and are happy for them to accompany you in any of our spaces at the venue and can join you in the theatre for events. Alternatively, we can arrange someone to look after them throughout the performance in the bar area if you wish, just let us know on your arrival. Water will also be available on request.
