Sustainable travel guide
How to join us sustainably
As part of our commitment to being more sustainable, we are asking our audiences, where possible, to join us in theatres in more eco-friendly ways. To help you with your journey we have compiled handy travel guides for each of our main venues that we visit.
Here at Scottish Ballet we encourage our staff to travel via public transport wherever possible, our dancers will travel via a coach to Scottish touring venues and we are all asked to avoid using air travel for journeys which could be achieved by other means.
We understand that for many, using a car is the only option but there are ways to offset your carbon footprint. Use Greentripper to calculate your journey’s emission and how to offset it.
