Gatsby Exclusive: Under 30s Event

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the dress code?

There is no dress code as such, but we will be dressing as if we are attending a nice dinner. This could be a dress, a suit, jeans and a shirt or blouse or any formal wear. However, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable throughout the event.

Will there be non-alcoholic drinks available?

There will be a non-alcoholic drink option available at the pre-drinks at The Ivy.

Can I sit with my friends or group if we book tickets separately?

If you would like to sit with friends or a group, you must book your tickets to the event together. If tickets are not booked together, we cannot guarantee you will be seated together at the theatre.

Can I make a group booking?

Yes, group bookings of up to five tickets in one order can be made.

I've never been to a ballet before, what I can expect?

• The show will start at 7.30pm, you will need to be in your seat at least 5 minutes before this. When you arrive at Leeds Grand Theatre your ticket will be scanned and you will be directed to where you will be sitting. There will be an interval of approx. 15 minutes in the middle of the show where you will be invited to join us for free ice cream. Details of the interval reception will be shared with you closer to the time.
• You will be able to take drinks purchased at the theatre into the auditorium and the show will finish at approximately 10pm.
• If you are running late to The Ivy, you will be let in until the event finishes at 7pm. If you arrive late to the performance at Leeds Grand Theatre you may be asked to wait until a suitable break before taking your seats to avoid disturbing fellow audience members.
• You will also receive  a complimentary programme before the show with information about the story of the ballet, the characters, the creative team and extra behind-the-scenes content.

If I can't make the event, will I be able to get a refund?
