Frequently Asked Questions How do I access the Actors' Church? There are usually five entrances to the Actors' Church - only one will be open for this performance.

The Box Office is located just beyond the gates at the entrance of the garden.

What if I require step-free entry to the church? As noted, there is no step free entry to the performance area, however it is step free into the main body of the grounds via Bedford Street.

What happens if it rains? The Great British summertime is famous for its unpredictable weather! In 99% of cases, the performance will continue come rain or shine. In cases of heavy rain, it may be necessary to halt the performance for a short period. In the unlikely circumstance of extreme weather (including extreme heat), the performance may be postponed until a further date. Do please dress for the weather accordingly! If possible, try to avoid bringing umbrellas as they can block sight-lines for other audience members. Raincoats and ponchos are just as fetching - the venue can provide free ponchos for audience members without any suitable cover!
