The theatre is open up to 90 minutes before the first performance of the day begins. Patrons can usually take their seats in the auditorium 30 minutes before curtain up.
There are various measures in place at the Grand Opera House to ensure theatregoers’ well-being and safety. Bag checks may be in operation upon arrival, so it is recommended that you leave extra time to avoid queues, and only bring small bags to a performance.
There are bars on the Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle levels as well as in the main Foyer of the Grand Opera House, serving snacks and refreshments before performances and during the interval.
Zaap Thai Street Food is six minutes’ walk from the Grand Opera House, with a varied menu including dim sum, bao buns and curries. If you prefer a relaxed pub setting for a pre-show meal, The Hop on Fossgate serves woodfired pizzas and Ossett Brewery ales alongside weekly acoustic music sets.
York is home to a variety of luxury and boutique hotels in period buildings, such as The Principal, which boasts Victorian-era features and beautiful landscaped gardens. For those on mid-range or smaller budget, Hotel 53 and Holiday Inn City Centre both provide comfortable rooms close to the theatre.
