Attending Inside Out
All events are free of charge to attend. However, voluntary contributions are very welcome and will help us meet our final costs – please look out for the stewards collecting at events. Tickets are not usually required, but please check if there are particular instructions for specific events. Inside Out reserves the right to alter or cancel the programme without notice, particularly in adverse weather conditions.
Access
If you are disabled and need help with transport or parking arrangements, please let us know. If we can’t help, we may be able to put you in touch with someone who can. Audiences are advised to dress appropriately for the weather and the time of day. A torch may also be useful for any events at more rural sites. Shows are generally not seated and in many instances, the audience will move around across not always easy terrain. Please call 01202 884340 if you require an alternative brochure format

If you are driving, please consider car-sharing. Limited parking is available near the pub, which will be signposted. There is a £1 charge for parking – the money goes to the local community.
The Rock Charmer has been specially created for this magnificent setting, which is on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, and has international designations for geological and wildlife interest. Therefore, we kindly request that you respect this very special environment. Bats are known to use this location, and we must adhere to strict guidelines to avoid causing them harm. Access may be restricted if bats are present in the caves. Please follow advice of the stewards and bat wardens, who are also on hand to provide further information should it be required.
As with all Inside Out events, please wear suitable clothes as the weather can change quickly. As the performance includes a walk, please wear sensible, comfortable footwear – and note the track is rough and may not be suitable for prams and buggies. And sorry, no dogs.
