The following pages are primarily intended as a guide for bands preparing for a show
at the Water Rats Theatre. We'd like you to have a feel for how we run things before
you even arrive, so that you're well prepared. Of course, if you're not in a band, you're
welcome to just have a nose around. Remember though, that the pictures are more about
speedy loading and basic info than anything too cocky. You'll have to pay us a visit to get
a proper feel for the place.
Although bands have previously used the middle doors to load in, the bar is now
open from 5pm, so you need to use the side doors on the right hand side, which are visible
in the second picture. You will still use the middle doors to load out.
Like everywhere in Central London, parking facilities are limited. The venue
is situated on a red route, so loading in at 5pm has to be quick. From 7pm however,
there is free parking for 3 cars directly outside the venue, so you can come back and
park up ready to load out.
