We get asked a lot of questions about The Lucky Chance, so we've done our best to answer the most common ones below. If you still can't find the answer then please do get in touch.
The Lucky Chance is perched high on the hill on Frome's Portway. You might remember it as the former Portway Methodist Chapel.

Our venue has no parking and can only be accessed on foot.
If you are driving, then we suggest using the car park behind Marks & Spencer known as Merchants Barton (use Saxonvale, Frome BA11 1PW for satnavs). We are a short walk away, although we'd be lying if we said it wasn't up a hill...
We care deeply about our neighbours and we mustn’t let our shows or work disrupt their parking, so we urge you NOT to park along Alexandra Road. We do need to prove to both our neighbours and the council that our presence at The Lucky Chance isn't creating a new parking nightmare. Please help us!
We are committed to making our venue welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all, and are constantly striving to find new ways to ensure everyone feels welcome here. Whether you’re a seasoned theatre-goer or trying it out for the first time, we want you to have a memorable and enjoyable experience.
The venue is not currently very wheelchair friendly, but we’re working on that. There are several steps up to our doors if approached from the Portway. If approached from the footpath at Singer’s Knoll, there are fewer steps but it's a longer walk. There are also steps within the building itself. But we don't want this to put you off! If you have access needs or are concerned about how you might get around the space, please call or email us as we're confident we can make it work for you.
The Lucky Chance is not currently available for private rentals, parties, weddings or other events.
Yes you can. Please get in contact with us at the office for more details.
The Lucky Chance isn't a regular arts venue with a permanent staff or public-facing infrastructure so, sadly, we can't!
The Lucky Chance's primary use is as Emma Rice Company's rehearsal and teaching space.
