Theatre Group
Hamilton
Some of our members have asked us to try to reserve tickets for Hamilton at the Palace Theatre Manchester in December. Unfortunately The stalls were sold out. However we have managed to secure some tickets in the Circle for Saturday 9th December at 2.30 which cost £92.50. This is more than we would normally pay and does not include the transport costs to Manchester which would be in the region of £20+ by Minibus with at least 14 passengers; so an expensive afternoon out! If you would like to book your ticket please pay by cheque at the Theatre Desk. The closing date will be the end of April. We will ask for the transport cheque when we know how many people are going.
