Ticket information

Our commitment to the safe enjoyment of the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic means that this season's online events are free for you to enjoy at home.

The Arts Institute relies on income to develop and deliver a public programme, which not only promotes audience engagement and access to the arts, but also directly supports emerging and established artists' careers and the creation of new content.

In place of the price of a ticket, please consider a donation to The Arts Institute.

Please show your e-tickets to our Front of House team on arrival, either via a digital device or a printed version.

Enjoying our digital programme

Once you have booked your place at an online event you will receive a link to access your chosen event at the advertised date and time. On the day of the event, simply join via the link provided.

Pre-recorded events will be available via our website, and live events will be hosted on Zoom Webinar or YouTube Live.

We recommend adding a reminder for your chosen events to your calendar. 

To ensure you don't miss anything, we recommend joining events five minutes prior to the advertised start time.

For the ultimate experience we recommend joining events on a desktop computer or laptop – whilst tablets and smartphones will work, the event will be easier to view on a larger screen.

During our live events on Zoom Webinar and YouTube Live you will not be heard or visible to the host or other audience members. However depending on the event, you may have the opportunity to present a question to the host, if you wish to remain anonymous this can be done through the chat function.

Please be aware that some events are captured for use in University online and offline marketing and promotional materials. If you, or a member of your group, do not wish to be photographed or recorded, please let a member of staff know.

You should not need any specialist software in order to enjoy live events, however you may prefer to download Zoom prior to the event to learn more about its features – find out more about Zoom.
