artsdepot Opening Hours and Box Office Contact

artsdepot's homepage lists three separate sets of daily hours: the building is open 8.30am–8pm, cafedepot is open 8.30am–5pm, and the Box Office is open 9am–5pm. The Box Office can be reached by phone on 020 8369 5454. These are the hours shown for the current day on the homepage, so treat them as the standard daily pattern rather than a guarantee for every date — check the site before travelling for a specific show or a bank holiday.

Opening hours at a glance

The practical takeaway: the building opens before the Box Office and stays open well after it closes. If you arrive early, you can go in from 8.30am, but you cannot buy or collect tickets until 9am. If you arrive after 5pm, the Box Office will be shut even though the building is still open — relevant if you are attending an evening performance and need to pick up tickets.

Contacting the Box Office

• Phone: 020 8369 5454
• Hours: 9am–5pm, per the homepage listing
• In person: at the venue's Box Office during those same hours

The homepage does not list an email address or a separate booking line, so the phone number is the contact route it gives. For show-specific questions, each event listing has a "More info" link and a "Book now" option, which is the most direct way to check availability and reserve seats.

Planning around a visit

Because the three sets of hours differ, match your timing to what you actually need to do:

• Seeing a show: the building is open from 8.30am, but confirm the performance time on the event page — the listed hours describe the venue day, not curtain times.
• Buying or collecting tickets: aim for 9am–5pm. Outside that window, use the website's booking links instead.
• Using cafedepot: it closes at 5pm, two to three hours before the building does, so it is not an option for a pre-show meal for an evening performance.
• Calling with a question: the phone line follows Box Office hours, so calls after 5pm will not be answered.

What else is in the building

The hours above cover a venue that holds more than a single theatre. The site describes a Pentland Theatre, Studio Theatre, Creation Space, Apthorp Gallery, Exhibition Wall, cafedepot, and several named spaces including a Dance Space, Art Space, Drama Space and bardepot, alongside workshops and family shows. That range is why the building day (8.30am–8pm) is longer than the Box Office day — daytime activity such as gallery visits, classes or cafe use can happen without ticket desk staff on hand.

If your reason for visiting is a workshop, gallery visit or a space hire rather than a performance, the Box Office number is still the published contact point, but check the relevant page for that activity first, since individual spaces and programmes may keep their own schedules that the homepage summary does not show.
