The concert hall is the largest theatre at The Lighthouse but there are other "halls" as well. I prefer to sit as near to the centre as I can and Rows D and E are good because then you can see the expressions on the faces of the performers.

Hello I see on here you have a restaurant in the theatre - however there is NO info anywhere about this facility - not even on your website!! PLEASE would you tell me what time it opens & a menu would be helpful - only looking for a bar snack type meal prior to a performance on Saturday Thank you
