Coming to see Chicken Licken this Easter Holiday?

If you require the integrated BSL and creative captioning, your best view is from the middle of Row E and above! Let our chickens show you where to sit 🐣

If you don't require the integrated access elements, Rows A-E still offer a great view of all the action.
