However, due to the ongoing circumstances it may not always be possible to get through to us, or enter the building, but you can always leave a message or email us at pontardawe.boxoffice@npt.gov.uk.

In either case we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Although we have made every effort to contact all customers regarding cancelled and rescheduled shows, it is still possible that we may have missed ticket holders due to the volume of refunds that required processing.

All shows which are currently on sale on our website are scheduled to go ahead at this time. However, dates, times and capacities are subject to change.

Some events were set at reduced capacities in line with social distancing guidelines, as they were scheduled to go ahead unless we reverted to increased lockdown tiers.

Currently, full capacities are now permitted, and as a result the majority of shows will not be subject to social distancing protocols.

Please note that this may change if the situation demands it.
