Proof of eligibility may be requested when collecting or redeeming your tickets.

Carer Tickets

In order to qualify as a carer, individuals must be at least 16 years of age. It is essential that carers have the ability to assist the guest in managing any conditions they may have and possess a clear understanding of their specific needs.

At the time of booking, it is required that proof of either disability or carer status is submitted. This proof can be provided in various forms, such as a Blue Badge, an Incapacity Benefit Book, or a letter confirming that the guest receives relevant benefits like Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). Additionally, an access card can also serve as valid proof.

The number of carer tickets that will be allocated is directly linked to the number of individuals who require accompaniment. As such, the allocation will be tailored to the specific needs of the guest.

Please note that carers will not be eligible for complimentary tickets for events that include catering services. However, in recognition of their important role, we are pleased to offer a 20% discount on these occasions as an alternative to a free ticket.

To reserve carer tickets, please contact our Box Office directly. This can be done either by calling us at 01756 706397, sending an email to sthboxoffice@northyorks.gov.uk, or visiting us in person at Skipton Town Hall. Our Box Office is open from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Saturday.

Online Booking

All bookings are made through our provider Ticketsource. An order for tickets is not complete until accepted by us. We try to ensure all prices are accurate but errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of tickets you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and we may either cancel the order (in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid) or give you the option of confirming your order at the correct price.

Print at Home Tickets

Where the Print at Home option is selected you must ensure that you bring your printed tickets to the event to gain entry. Alternatively you can show your booking QR code on your mobile phone screen.

Group Bookings

Group bookings of ten or more should be made by calling the Box Office.

Refunds and Cancellations

Once purchased tickets cannot be refunded unless a performance is cancelled.

Where a performance or event is re-arranged original tickets will be valid for the new date. New tickets will not be issued.  If you are unable to attend the re-arranged performance you can request a refund by contacting us via email at STHboxoffice@northyorks.gov.uk or phone quoting your unique booking reference. Refunds should be requested within 48 hours before any re-arranged performance and where a performance is not re-arranged within 14 days of the notification of cancellation.

In the event of a performance or event being cancelled or postponed Skipton Town Hall cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred by you for travel, accommodation or other related service.

Re-sales

Once a performance is sold out, we may accept tickets for resale. Skipton Town Hall will resell tickets in the order which they are returned to us, and cannot guarantee that all tickets will be sold.

Admissions

Only tickets purchased via Skipton Town Hall are valid for admission. Any tickets purchased through unapproved channels will be deemed invalid, and admission will therefore be refused without refund.

The right to admission is reserved by Skipton Town Hall who may take health and safety, environmental and security concerns into account at their reasonable discretion and may from time to time carry out security searches.

No refunds will be made to customers who are refused entry or ejected from the premises.

Alcohol Policy

For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, you may be refused service at the bar if there is any suspicion that you are intoxicated.

Under no circumstances are guests permitted to bring their own alcohol into the venue, as this would violate the terms of our licensing agreement. If you are found in possession of alcohol not purchased directly from our bar, it will be confiscated, and in certain situations, you may be asked to leave the premises.

To ensure compliance with these regulations, we reserve the right to conduct bag checks upon entry to the venue.

Your visit

Skipton Town Hall currently operates an unreserved seating policy. Audiences are advised to arrive at least 20 minutes before the start of the show in all instances, to ensure audience members have enough time to take their seats.

Should you be late to a performance, it may be necessary to wait until a suitable break or interval within a performance until it is possible to be admitted. Although late admission cannot always be guaranteed, Skipton Town Hall tries to admit patrons where reasonably possible.

The management reserves the right to refuse or restrict entry to a performance should it be deemed necessary to preserve the safety and comfort of our audience, performers and/or staff.

The use of cameras, recording equipment and mobile telephones is strictly prohibited in the Concert Hall, unless consent is given in advance by Skipton Town Hall.

Skipton Town Hall strives to be accessible to all. If you have any access requirements for your visit, please contact us by calling 01756 792809 or emailing STHboxoffice@northyorks.gov.uk when booking.

Infants aged under 2 years may be admitted to performances without the need for a ticket, instead being seated on a parent or guardian’s lap at no additional charge. Should an infant or toddler become restless and cause a disturbance during a performance, the parent or guardian may be requested to leave the auditorium until the child has settled so as to limit inconvenience to other audience members and performers. This clause does not apply to Relaxed Performances.
