A Night Less Ordinary

UNDER 26?

Get fantastic theatre tickets for FREE

Fancy a night less ordinary? The Dukes have teamed up with The Nuffield to give away 6,000 theatre tickets for young people under the age of 26… ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Who said you can’t get something for nothing? Tickets are available on a whole host of events at both venues – so we can guarantee something will catch your eye!

And that’s not all…When you collect your first ticket we’ll give you a free discount card offering 10% off at The Dukes and Nuffield bars, £1 off cinema tickets at The Dukes and discounts of pre-theatre meals at selected Lancaster bars and restaurants. 

How do I book?

Either pop into The Dukes (Moor Lane, Lancaster) or give our Box Office a call on 01524 598500. We’re more than happy to help with any enquires about the Free Ticket offer – as well as giving a few recommendations about what’s worth seeing! But here’s a little bit of extra information on how to book.

When you book for the first time, you’ll be asked for a photo ID proving your age and to fill in a quick form with some information like your name, date of birth and contact details. If you’re booking over the phone, we can fill this in for you.

 Then we’ll give you your Discount Card, which (as well as saving you loads of money) will have a unique reference number on it. This means every time you book from then on, all you’ll need to do is quote your number. If you have pre-booked your tickets, you must collect them at least 30 minutes before the performance starts, or they could be resold. A photo ID will be required when you collect your tickets to prove your age. 

So… what can I see at The Dukes?

Between The Dukes and The Nuffield, we’ve pretty much got it covered. You can see quality drama, hilarious comedy and stunning dance without paying a penny.
