Café on the Park
Located in the Festival Theatre
Opening times: Mon to Sat, 9am - 5pm or until the end of the interval if there is a Festival Theatre show.
Discover great barista coffee, cracking cakes and lovely light lunches. There’s a friendly hello and high chairs, free Wi-Fi and water refill stations, plenty of indoor & outdoor seating and room for buggies as well. We’re breastfeeding friendly and even well-behaved dogs are very welcome, and if you bring your own cup you'll get 50p off hot drinks.
Our other Foyer Café opens from 90 minutes before busy Festival Theatre performances until the interval, so there's plenty of space for all our audience members to pick up their pre-show snack or grab a caffeine hit before show time. Please be advised that our pre-wrapped snacks can contain nuts.

Meet our good friends Caper & Berry
If you've ever treated yourself to a pre-show cocktail at one of our bars or sat down to enjoy a meal in our restaurant, you'll have been served by the Caper & Berry team. With swift service to ensure you make it to your theatre seat on time, they also welcome all to enjoy their cracking cakes and brilliant barista coffee in our park-side café outside of shows.
