BOX OFFICE & CAFÉ BAR
OPENING HOURS OVER THE FESTIVE PERIOD
From Monday 27 November 2023, the Towngate Box Office and Café Bar will be closed every Monday during the busy panto season. This is due to the building being open and operational throughout Tuesdays – Sundays for the run of Cinderella.
If you have any queries regarding tickets, please email the team on towngateboxoffice@basildon.gov.uk and one of the Box Office team will come back to you upon their return.
If your query is regarding a table reservation for the Café Bar, please email the team on towngatecafe@basildon.gov.uk and one of the team will come back to you shortly.
Our regular opening hours will resume in January 2024.

Towngate Theatre
We’ve been entertaining Basildon for 30 years – with drama, musicals, classical concerts, comedy, panto and so much more. On Saint Martin’s Square at the heart of Basildon, we’re just 6 minutes walk from Basildon Station, with plenty of parking next door.

Play your part
There’s so many ways you can get involved with the Towngate, from workshops and events to spaces to knit and natter, we have something for everyone.

Café
Coffee and cake at the Towngate makes a fantastic break from a day’s shopping in Basildon. Pre-theatre meals, cocktails and lunch break snacks mean Towngate Café is the perfect place to share the fun and drama.
