Useful to know
We are delighted that you are interested in visiting Halmstad Theater! To make planning your visit as easy as possible we have compiled information that may be helpful.
When should I arrive at the theater?
Arrive in good time so that you and your party can enjoy drinks and snack and take in the theater’s ornamentation by famous artists. The doors open one hour before the performance. Arrive no later than 20 minutes before the performance so that you have time to leave your coat in the wardrobe and find your seat. Welcome!
Wardrobe fee
For the wellbeing and safety of all our visitors, coats and large bags are not permitted in the auditorium.
Pre-purchase
You can purchase your wardrobe ticket in advance when you book your theater tickets. It only costs SEK 20 per outer garment and you will be able to use the express window on the left-hand side of the wardrobe (as seen from the staircase), which will speed up your arrival.
Pay on arrival
If you choose to pay for a wardrobe ticket on arrival, it will cost you SEK 40 per outer garment.
Children
The wardrobe is free of charge for children under 12 years of age.
