All the seats have a perfect view of the stage, we were sat quite a few rows back (row H) and I could see everything clearly! Enjoy!!

We stayed at the jury's inn and like most hotels around the area if you park in a multi storey the hotel reduces the car park fee to £8 for 24 hours. Get your token done at the reception

I used the NCP carpark - not cheap but very close - Arundel Gate

Hi David - there is an enclosed garden area like a huge conservatory which is free but is locked at about 10pm each night I think. Hope this helps. Jon

Like the others said, there aren’t any gardens at the Crucible. The Winter Gardens are about 100 yards away and entry is free. So is the Millennium Gallery reached through the Winter Gardens. The Peace Gardens have water fountains and encourage people to use them. Some good pubs and eateries within easy reach of the Crucible and Winter Gardens, Enjoy.

Unfortunately, we don't have a snooker museum at the Crucible. When the tournament is with us there are snooker related events in the Winter Gardens if you are able to get to any of those during the run of the tournament

yes there is and its free to use .your only allowed an handbag in the theater so any shopping ect has to be left at the cloakroom ,which is very safe and secure.

Yes lots

Not sure of the nearest, but Travel lodge are good value. Also talked to someone who used a Holiday Inn express nearby, which they booked a year in advance. Need to book quickly to get a room. Gets booked up,

You will have no idea who will appear in what match until next year. The top 16 players will appear in the opening rounds, against qualifiers. From there it will be from those 4 players who make up the semi finalists. Left or right side does not matter, both sides afford a great view, I would suggest if possible the 5th row or there about's towards the front, possibly half way between right and left if possible. It depends what is left. All views are fairly good, some are better than others.
