Question 1

What is a "Listening Room?

Accepted Answer

A listening room is an intimate performance space designed for focused appreciation of live music or spoken word. With excellent acoustics and minimal distractions, it fosters respect for artists and a close connection with the audience, creating an immersive and personal experience.

Question 2

Why does the dinner service end at 7:00?

Accepted Answer

We encourage guests joining us for dinner to arrive by 6:00 PM, allowing ample time to enjoy food and drinks, settle in, and fully enjoy the performance when it begins. This also helps minimize any disruption from dinner service during the show.

Question 3

How do I participate in the wine tasting?

Accepted Answer

We invite all ticket holders for the evening performance to enjoy a limited wine tasting at the Hermit Woods Tasting Bar from 5:30 to 6:00 PM. Please note that the tasting concludes promptly at 6:00 PM, so be sure to arrive on time to take advantage of this experience.

Question 4

Where do I park?

Accepted Answer

Due to our downtown location, Hermit Woods does not have onsite parking. However, ample parking is typically available on Main St., including a public lot across the street, accessible from High St. or Water St.

Question 5

If I have tickets for the show, do I still need dinner reservations?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket reserves your seat from the moment doors open at 6:00 PM until the end of the night. Your table will be ready and waiting for you upon arrival.

Question 6

Will there be other people seated at my table?

Accepted Answer

Due to our limited seating of just 60, we aim to maximize capacity. If a party of two reserves seats at a four-top table, another couple may reserve the remaining seats. Our seating includes 6 four-tops, 6 two-tops, and 22 bar seats.

Question 7

How long is the performance?

Accepted Answer

Performances typically run 1 hour 15 minutes to 1.5 hours. If the artist and audience are especially engaged, shows may run longer. Most performances conclude before 9:00 PM.

Question 8

Do you serve drinks other than wine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer wines, meads, and ciders crafted by Hermit Woods Winery, along with locally brewed beer and a selection of handcrafted cocktails.

Question 9

Is the Loft wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the Loft is not wheelchair accessible. While the main floor of the winery is wheelchair-friendly, the Loft is located up one flight of stairs. If you're able, we’re happy to assist you with the stairs.

Question 10

What happens if I am not able to attend the show, can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Full refunds are available up to seven days before the show. If you need to cancel after that, please contact the venue directly. We’ll gladly work with you to apply your tickets toward a future show.

Question 11

Can tickets be purchased at the door?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tickets for all shows at Hermit Woods can be purchased in advance or, subject to availability, on the day of the show at our front register.

Question 12

Is it important to purchase my tickets in advance?

Accepted Answer

Many of our shows sell out, so purchasing your ticket early increases your chances of securing a seat. While every seat offers a great view, buying early gives you the best opportunity to reserve your favorite table or preferred seating.

Question 13

Is dinner included in the ticket price?

Accepted Answer

No. Your ticket is only for your table reservation and the performance. Drinks and dinner are sold separately.

Question 14

Why are we not allowed to talk during the show?

Accepted Answer

In a listening room, the focus is on creating an intimate experience where the audience can fully appreciate the performance. Talking during the show distracts both the artist and other guests. Maintaining a quiet atmosphere ensures everyone can enjoy the music to its fullest.

Question 15

If I have a party larger than four can arrangements be made to sit together?

Accepted Answer

For parties larger than four, please contact the venue prior to purchasing your tickets. We will do our best to arrange seating together whenever possible. Call us at 603.253.7968.
