The Carpenters Experience – In Concert

Your seats are reserved and guaranteed for the show.

Our seating plan is a mix of table sizes with tables of 2,4 and 6 and 12 people.

We have different tiers of seating which are represented by different coloured dots (seats) on the plan. Our main room shows have ‘Premier’, ‘Standard’ and brand new for 2022 are our ‘VIP Premier Tall Table’ seating areas

No need to get up to the bar, or wait in queues as there’s waiter service throughout the night serving drinks and snacks

You can make specific seating requests if you want (i.e. if you don’t want to sit too near to the front!). You can either select your own seat online, or make the request to the box office operative when booking

Yes. Tickets for our resident and visiting shows are all for a reserved seat for the show only.

There are various upgrade options available for most shows after you have selected your seats/show ticket type (Adult/Junior etc.) with options to add a dining package, and pre-order drinks options etc.

Whilst we recommend dining with us to get the complete ‘Viva experience’, you can opt to come just for the show by selecting a ‘Show Only’ ticket which is a reserved seat for the show.

We LOVE groups.

Viva is a perfect destination for a party, or a group. With different table sizes (2s, 4s, 6s, 10s and 12s) and a flexible layout meaning we can add tables together, or seat in the same area of the room – we can cater for any private party requirement within our big show atmosphere.

When booking dining as a group, we’re likely to need your menu options before your visit (for groups of 6 or more people.)

Our Cabaret Theatre at Viva is a spacious, modern and comfortable venue which seats up to 650 people.

The stage is large, but close to the front tables – and all guests will feel like their part of the show with tables of various sizes.

You’re free to get up and dance around the table if you want to (as long as you don’t spoil the view for anyone else), and you can move around the room freely during the performance (relaxed space policy)

If you’ve ordered pre-ordered dining – then you’ll dine in your show seats before the curtain goes up on the performance.
