What makes The Red Rattler Theatre special
The Rat, as regulars call it, sees itself as a queer-run creative playground: ethical, sustainable and community-owned. The programme ranges from performance and cabaret to concerts and club nights. Prices are deliberately kept low so that as many people as possible can take part.

The programme changes from night to night; tickets are sold via Eventbrite and similar platforms. Current dates are on the website.
