FAQs
We appreciate that these are worrying times and you may have questions, so we’ve tried to answer as many of these in our FAQs section below.
Can I call the box office directly?
As of Tuesday 24th March, the box office phone line has been closed temporarily so you won’t be able to contact us by phone however you can get in touch by email on theatres@carmarthenshire.gov.uk
A show I have booked for has been postponed, what should I do?
Your ticket will be automatically re-booked for the new date and we will contact you directly to advise you of the new show date. If you’re unable to attend, please send an email to theatres@carmarthenshire.gov.uk stating the name of the show, your original booking number or full name of the person who booked the tickets and we will contact you to discuss ticket exchange or refund options once the box office is fully operational again.
My show has been postponed, but I already have the tickets with the original date.
Keep hold of your tickets as these will still be accepted for the rescheduled date.
A show I have booked for has been cancelled, what should I do?
All customers will receive a full refund and we will contact you to arrange this.
What shall I do if my tickets are booked for performances from June onwards?

I booked my tickets via a third party/ticket agent, how do I get a refund?
Please contact the provider you booked the tickets with and ask for their policy on cancellations and refunds. Their contact details should be on the confirmation you received at the time of booking.
I booked as part of a group and a new date isn’t convenient for us all to come back?
We can arrange a refund for those in the group who are unable to attend.

What happens if I rebook and the theatre closes again?
For complete peace of mind, you will be able to exchange again free of charge in the event of further postponements. We are monitoring government advice constantly and will be reviewing the situation if guidance changes.
