Exit Music: The Beatles AKA The White Album (1968)

The Beatles | 93 mins | 5.1 Surround Sound

The Beatles' legendary ninth studio album, their only double LP, captures a band at the height of inventive creativity. There's something for everyone here - from sweet simple acoustic balladry, through blistering rock and roll, all the way to music concrète and Disney-esque orchestral pop.

Presented in full, in surround sound, and in complete darkness. There will be a 10-minute refreshment break between the two parts of the LP.

Advance tickets £10 / £8.50 (conc) - door sales +50p

Please note: there's no need to print your tickets. We have a list of attendees on the door so you just need to give us your name when you arrive. Save the trees!

7 pm doors for 7:30 pm start

- The LP will be played in full

- No talking

- No eating/rustling

- No late entries
