PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
For the EVENT BOOKING number and all other enquiries please phone: 01 805 7709 and ask for Kim (Weds to Friday)
If you book a ticket for a paid event and do not turn up you will be expected to pay the full ticket price as we will have paid for the tickets in
advance. We will try to pass on your ticket to someone but that is not always possible, and in this event you are liable for the cost.
Please also arrive in plenty of time for ticketed events as the Meet and Greet person is usually going to the performance/event too.
If you have not arrived by 15 minutes to curtain up your ticket will be left at the box office.
Please make any special access requirements known to us at time of booking. As far as possible we will let you know if the venue is accessible
but if you have further questions about the venue, then please contact them directly as they will be better able to answer your questions/help
you. If you require transport to any event, you could check if anyone else from your area is attending the same event and perhaps wouldn’t
mind giving you a lift or sharing a taxi. We encourage you to make contact with other Cultural Companions who are listed in the Directory.
Call Kim to see if someone else from your area is going to the same event as you. You could call them beforehand and perhaps organise to
travel together or meet afterwards. Have you an event you want to suggest for the next event guide? Or is there an event you are planning
on going to yourself and would like others who are interested to join you? Please let us know here at the office.
We need more Meet and Greet volunteers: if you are interested please call Kim (Weds – Fri) on 01 805 7709.
