Plan your evening
Before you book
The 6 venues above are spread across 5 areas of the Jurassic Coast. Each venue page gives the address, the nearest station and how to get there, and the step-free status where we could find one, either from the venue's own access page or from OpenStreetMap contributors. Ask the box office about wheelchair spaces, captioned or audio-described performances and assistance before you book.
For festivals, markets and other dated events, see events across Britain. To compare venues by area and type of show, open the The Jurassic Coast theatre directory. For where to eat before a show, each area of the The Jurassic Coast guide has an eat and drink page.
