While there isn’t a published seating chart, configurations adapt to each event, keeping the atmosphere fresh and engaging for performers and audiences alike.

Located in central Nottingham, The Maze is easily accessible by bus and within walking distance of several city-centre hotels and dining options. We’ve gathered practical details to help you plan your visit, from parking to nearby stays, so you can secure your seats and enjoy the show without the hassle.
