How to See What's On at artsdepot and Book Tickets

Updated

To find upcoming shows at artsdepot and book tickets, go to the artsdepot website and use the What's On section. It lists events happening in the next seven days and further ahead, with each listing showing the show title, dates, venue and a short description. Each listing includes More info and Book now links, so you can read details and move straight to booking. If you prefer to book by phone or check availability with a person, the Box Office number is 020 8369 5454.

Step-by-step: Finding a show and booking

  1. Open the artsdepot homepage. The What's On area appears on the page, including an In the next 7 days... block for events happening soon.
  2. Scan the listings. Each entry gives the show title, dates, the space it's in (for example, Pentland Theatre) and a brief description. Current examples on the site include:
    • Surinderella — Sat 17 – Sun 18 Oct 2026, Pentland Theatre (family theatre)
    • Scummy Mummies: Hot Mess — Thu 22 Oct 2026, Pentland Theatre (comedy)
    • Dear Zoo — Fri 23 – Tue 27 Oct 2026, Pentland Theatre (family show)
  3. Select "More info" on a listing to read the full description before deciding.
  4. Select "Book now" on the listing you want to attend to start the booking process.
  5. Confirm your details and complete the booking on the booking page. Keep any confirmation you receive so you have your ticket details to hand.

Expected result: you end up with a confirmed booking for your chosen performance, or — if you use the phone route — a Box Office staff member handling your booking directly.

Checking opening hours before you go or call

The homepage shows daily opening times, which are useful if you plan to visit in person or call the Box Office:

Area Hours shown on the homepage
Building 8.30am – 8pm
Cafe 8.30am – 5pm
Box Office 9am – 5pm

These are the hours displayed for the current day on the site, so check the homepage again on the day you plan to visit or call, in case they differ.

Common snags and how to handle them

  • Your show isn't in the next 7 days. The In the next 7 days... block only covers the coming week. Browse the wider What's On listings for later dates — the example shows run into October 2026.
  • You can't find a booking link. Look for Book now directly under the listing; More info takes you to the description page first.
  • You'd rather not book online. Call the Box Office on 020 8369 5454 during its opening hours (9am – 5pm as shown).
  • You want to combine a visit with something else. The building also houses a cafe, gallery and other spaces, so you can plan a full visit around your show — see the site's space overview for what's inside.

What else the site tells you

artsdepot describes itself as "a creative home for everyone" and an award-winning arts centre in Barnet, with theatre, comedy, music, family shows, a gallery, cafe and workshops. The homepage notes 269,000 visitors a year, which gives a sense of how busy popular family and comedy shows can be — booking early through the Book now links is the simplest way to secure a place.
