What happens

A simple first visit flow.

Arrive at Brook Street

Use the Brook Street entrance, go upstairs and ring the doorbell. Reception will handle entry discreetly.

Join at reception

Membership is required for entry and can be set up when you arrive. Bring valid ID if Challenge 25 may apply.

Ask what you need

Tell staff it is your first visit if you want a quick explanation of the venue, rooms, films, shop or shows.

Your pace

You do not need a script.

First visits can be quiet, curious or practical. You can watch films, use private rooms, browse the shop, see live entertainment, have a drink, or simply get familiar with the venue.

There is no pressure to take part in anything. Respect and boundaries apply throughout the building.

Solo visits

Arriving alone is normal.

Discretion

Reception is straightforward and private.

Choice

Use only the parts you want.

Support

Ask staff if unsure.
