Venue Info

For most of our live events, The Leadmill is an all-standing venue.

There is limited seating available but we are unable to reserve it or guarantee its availability.  If you have any specific needs ahead of a show then please visit our Accessibility Page here.

The Leadmill is committed to promoting the equality of people with disabilities and will take the necessary commitments to meet as many access requirements as possible. We are a step free venue, located entirely on ground floor level and work closely with disability-led charity Attitude is Everything to ensure we are doing what we can and following their charter for best practise.

Doors for live events are generally at 7:30pm but please check the individual event, your ticket or booking confirmation for more details.  Live events typically end between 10:30pm and 11pm, but may on occasion end earlier or later.  If so, we will try to make this information available beforehand.

All of our shows are 14+ unless otherwise stated.  We do recommend that under 18 year olds are accompanied by an adult, but this is not a condition of entry.

We will always do our best to post stage times for our shows on our website, on our Facebook page and Twitter page but these are always subject to change.

If you have lost property please send an email to information@leadmill.co.uk or a message on social media with the following information:

• Event attended
• Description of time (colour/brand/size/distinguishing details)
• Lost property can only be collected from our box office Monday-Friday between the hours of 10am and 5pm.

The Leadmill Box Office is located in our Offices above the venue, please look for 2 small red doors next to the main entrance and press the buzzer for the box office.

Please note that we will only hold Lost Property Items for 1 month due to storage. We will then donate as many items as possible to local charities.
