The evening, step by step

1. Doors: 7:00 pm (A Reserve) or 7:30 pm (B Reserve). No paper ticket: give the name on the booking. A Reserve guests go in first and get sparkling wine on arrival. The bar opens with the doors, and the Blood Bank bar serves while you wait.
2. The Mausoleum and the Ghost Train. The way into the theatre for every ticket.
3. Seated, first course. Seats are allocated on the night, A Reserve first. You order drinks from the table by QR code.
4. Dinner and the three-part show, with the courses served through the evening: live music, aerial acts and comedy. The current show is Abyss, which premiered on 19 August 2026.
5. The end of the night, three to four hours after the doors, depending on the night.

How long, exactly?

The venue says the full experience takes about three to four hours depending on the night; the GetYourGuide listing gives 3.5 hours. The venue does not publish a fixed finishing time, so treat 10:30 to 11:30 pm as a planning estimate, worked out from the doors time and that three to four hours, and check the confirmation for anything different on a special night such as New Year’s Eve, when the show runs into the midnight countdown.

Which nights

The venue’s normal schedule is Tuesday to Saturday nights, and it says this may change with the time of year. It prices Tuesday to Thursday and Friday to Saturday separately, and public holidays have their own prices; the calendar shows which nights are open. The venue recommends booking ahead because the show often sells out.

Getting home

For the trip home at the end of the night, the venue suggests a taxi or rideshare, and after a few cocktails that is the sensible plan. Parking and getting there covers the light rail and the car park.
