Please note that the Barrel House Ballroom is on the first floor and currently, the only access is via stairs.

There are separate male and female toilets on the first floor and a gender-neutral toilet on the ground floor. (Please note that whilst COVID restrictions remain in place, the ground floor toilet is for staff use only but can be opened to the public on request).

There is very limited seating in the venue, however, we can reserve a seat for those that are unable to stand for events. We cannot guarantee that the stage will be visible.

We are looking at solutions to make events at the venue more accessible to all on an ongoing basis. Cost and logistics (we are a listed building) are a huge challenge in this respect but not one that we believe is insurmountable.

If you have any questions or concerns about attending an event at the Barrel House, please contact us prior to the event to discuss.

Age restrictions vary for each event depending on content so please check listings.

As a licenced venue, all under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult unless specified.

Please check with the venue if you plan to bring a guest who is under the age of 18. For ticketed events, all children aged 3 and above must have a ticket.

Our photography and filming policy varies according to the event. Artists may request that there is no photography or filming and in this case we ask the audience to respect this. There will be signage prior to entering the venue if this is the case. Photography on mobile phones and compact cameras is permitted, without flash and for personal use only.

Larger cameras (SLRs with detachable lenses, for example) may only be used by those employed by the venue or the artist. Please note that most gigs and events will have some element of filming/photography taking place for use by the venue and/or artist. If you do not wish to be filmed please let the camera operator(s) know.

Totnes Brewing Co is located on the ground floor of the venue and you are able to take drinks purchased here up to the Ballroom.

Open from midday on weekends and 5PM on weekdays, this is the perfect place to meet friends for a pre-gig drink – serving craft beer, brewed on-site, as well as a large range of other craft beers, ciders, wines and spirits.

Tickets for our events are normally handled by our third-party ticket partners. If you have bought tickets for an event at TBHB, please contact the ticket seller directly in the event of any ticket issues or questions.

We take the health and safety of our customers, staff and visitors very seriously and work with local police, industry colleagues and members of security staff regularly.

On weekend gig nights we employ SIA trained door staff as a safety precaution, however, Totnes is a very safe town and the venue does not have the edgy vibe that some venues in bigger towns and cities can have. If at any point you feel unsafe or unwell, please speak to one of our staff or SIA door staff. The building is covered in most areas by CCTV. Random bag searches may be made by male and female door staff – please do not bring in bottles, cans, weapons, food etc into the venue.

We do not tolerate any kind of bullying or abusive behaviour towards anybody. If there is any behaviour that makes you feel uncomfortable, please report this to the duty manager via a member of staff.

We also have a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and anyone carrying or using drugs on the premises will be asked to leave with no re-admittance.

There is no cloakroom facility – lost property will be held for one month and then disposed of appropriately.
