To request advance seats at £10, email lazybirdjazz@hotmail.com Buying advance seats is strongly advised as the session frequently sells out before the session. Alternatively, and subject to availability, you can pay £15, cash only, on the door.

For those of you that already have payment details, please don’t send money before you have had confirmation from me that advance seats are available.

IMPORTANT T&Cs

  1. There are NO REFUNDS for advance seats. Only buy advance seats if you are comfortable with this condition.
  2. Advance seats cannot be transferred to a later date.
  3. Your seats are not reserved until you have paid for them.

AGE POLICY: The minimum age is 14 but under 18s must be accompanied by an adult and have an advance seat. If you are buying an advance seat for a 14-17, you must let me know at the time of booking so that I can give advance notice to the management of The Mermaid.
