Talon: The Best of Eagles

*Please read the below carefully*

Big things are happening here at the Marina.

As you may have seen a redevelopment project has begun at the theatre which will incorporate, among other things, a change to the layout of some of the seating in the auditorium.  This is a big task, and we are currently awaiting an updated seating plan for the new layout. To be able to continue to put shows on sale for the Autumn/Winter 2025 Season, the way you purchase a seat for this event is different to what you’re used to. The booking page will ask you whether you would like Stalls or Circle seats and then will ask you how many seats you would like. Please then go through the booking process as normal. When we have received delivery of the new seating plan our Box Office Team will be in touch with you directly so that they can allocate you an actual seat.

For any questions please call 01502 533200 or email info@marinatheatre.co.uk
