Everything you need for a good night out with the Bard, from parking to picnic blankets.
Our venues, with addresses and how to get there.
Seats Folding chairs at every venue, and at Douglas Park you can also bring your own. Seating is general admission, which means seats aren’t assigned: you sit wherever you like, first come, first seated.
Food and drink Every venue has a concession with popcorn, candy bars, pop, bottled water, beer and wine.
Indoors or out Township 7 Winery and Douglas Park are outdoors, under cover. Creekside Hall and Fort Langley Community Hall are indoors.
We perform in a winery, a park and a couple of community halls, so the buildings and the ground beneath them aren’t ours to rebuild (we did ask nicely). Within those walls and lawns, here’s what we do so everyone can enjoy the show.
Step-free routes A step-free route is a path from the entrance to your seat with no stairs or steps along the way, so wheelchairs, walkers and strollers can get through. We set up every venue with one.
Accessible parking Township 7 has marked accessible parking beside an accessible entrance.
Room to sit your way Seating is general admission, so you can choose the spot that works best for you, with space set aside for wheelchairs.
Washrooms Douglas Park has public washrooms.
Every budget Douglas Park nights are by donation, so cost is never the reason to miss a show.
Questions about arriving and seating.
Doors open an hour before the show, and we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early. Seats aren’t assigned, so if you have your heart set on a particular spot, come earlier still.
Follow your heart, as every good Shakespearean lover does (with a happier ending, we promise). Seating is general admission, so any free chair is yours. Seats can’t be reserved online.
Yes, please do. Just be kind to the people around you: a rustling wrapper in the middle of a soliloquy can test the patience of your neighbours, and now and then an actor too. Save the crunchiest bites for the big laughs and everyone goes home happy.
Each summer we try to team up with a local caterer (often Wellseasoned) for a picnic before the show, and in winter local restaurants sometimes offer dinner-and-theatre deals. When there’s something on, we’ll say so on the show page and in our emails. Doors open an hour early, so there’s time to eat.
Yes. Look for BIV goodies at the concession stand. After something specific? Email info@bardinthevalley.com and we’ll see what we can do.
