Enjoy a drink or snack before your show or during the interval at one of the bars across BwD Venues. Every venue has a bar serving a wide range of beverages and light refreshments, providing the perfect place to relax with friends before the performance begins.
Our bars typically open approximately one hour before the performance starts, or from the advertised doors opening time if this differs. In most cases, you can take your drink into the auditorium, and our staff will transfer it into a plastic glass where required.
To avoid queues during the interval, we strongly recommend pre-ordering your interval drinks at any of our bars when you arrive. Your drinks will be ready to collect from a clearly signposted collection point near the bar on the same floor as your seating area.
The Concert Hall offers a selection of bottled beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks from two bars:
Named in tribute to the great Lancashire contralto, The Kathleen Ferrier Bar features beautiful wooden panelling, while The Stargazers Bar celebrates the many artists who have performed on our stage and offers stunning views across the town.
During busier performances, additional temporary café and bar points may also be open throughout the venue.
The Windsor Suite offers a selection of draught ales and lagers, alongside bottled beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks.
The Lancaster Bar is surrounded by photographs celebrating the many artists who have performed at our venues, creating the perfect atmosphere while you enjoy a pre-show or interval drink.
On busier evenings, the Foyer Bar will also be open.
The Darwen Library Theatre Café Bar is the ideal place to enjoy a drink before your performance.
Serving bottled beers, wines, spirits, soft drinks and confectionery, it provides a relaxed and welcoming setting where you can meet friends or simply unwind before the show.
