If Poor Polly Buckwheat doesn’t turn a roomful of straw into gold by morning, the greedy King will turn a bit nasty. But should she accept the kind help of an eccentric dwarf who mysteriously appears in her prison cell?

Café Nineteen20 at the Palace Theatre opens every day from 10am-4pm for a delicious selection of hot and cold drinks, panini, soups, sandwiches, cakes and more.

The bar opens at least one hour before every performance, selling a range of alcoholic and soft drinks, sweets, snacks and ice creams. Patrons are encouraged to order interval drinks before the show to reduce their waiting time in the break.

The Palace’s beautiful Byron Room is also available to hire for private receptions for large groups at certain performances; enquiries should be made via the Box Office in the first instance.
