What do I need to bring on the day?

We would suggest bringing a refillable water bottle with you that you can use throughout the rehearsals. You are more than welcome to bring a packed lunch with you - please note that there are no refrigerators. The café on site will be open between 8.45am and 6.45pm for hot drinks, snacks and food (the café takes both cash and card payments).

You will be sitting on your seats for quite a bit of the day, so you may wish to bring a small cushion with you to make yourself more comfy! If you have already let us know that you require an accessible seat, our team will be on hand to direct you to your allocated seating on arrival.

We will be running a raffle on the day, with some fantastic prizes available. The raffle will be cashless, so don't worry about bringing cash with you if you want to participate.

Can I refill my water bottle?

There is a water fountain

Are the music and words provided? 

All you need to learn the medley will be provided. These will be words only not a score, so you don't need to be able to read music. Bring a highlighter pen to mark your part on the lyrics. 

Can I dress up? 

Yes, why not dress up in the theme of The Greatest Showman? Or where your The Greatest Sing T-Shirt?! This is of course optional. We suggest wearing something comfortable for rehearsals that you can wear all day. If you would like to change for the evening performance, there are bathrooms you can use. There will be heating in the hall, but you may want to bring a jumper to wear, particularly in the morning! There is limited storage space in the hall, so any belongings you bring with you need to be able to be stored under your chair.

Can I bring a dog?

Only assistance dogs please.

Where do I park – and is there a charge? 

There is ample free parking at the venue - when you arrive at the Showground, go to the Main Gate (you will see a Greatest Sing banner) and you will be signposted in the direction of the car park. The car park is a 5-minute walk from the venue.

There is disabled parking closer to the venue for blue badge holders - please let the gate attendant know and they will direct you to the accessible parking.
