Please read these guidelines before booking your place:

You will receive a Zoom Link for the event the day before the event. The Zoom link will activate on the evening at 22:50 (GMT+1 aka British Summer Time) and the event will last approximately 80 minutes. 

To experience the event fully, we recommend using a computer or a tablet with headphones, finding a comfortable, relaxed spot in your home, and setting Zoom with ‘Gallery View’ and selecting ‘Hide Non-video Participants.’ Before entering the Zoom Room, we ask that you turn off all the electrical lights in your room, and have just one lit candle as the light source. We may turn off your camera if your room is brightly lit. On entering the dark performance room, we will rename you with a pseudonym.

If you require access support or have any questions please don’t hesitate to email boxoffice@takemesomewhere.co.uk
