# Theatre by the Lake

> Theatre by the Lake's own programme, now readable by an agent in real time, live seat availability via Spektrix, through Visit Keswick.

**Connected through.** Theatre · Spektrix · via Visit Keswick

## Background

Theatre by the Lake is Keswick's own theatre on the shore of Derwentwater, a Premium member of the tourism association and among the venues going live through this launch.

## How it works

The theatre runs its box office on Spektrix. Selfe reads real seat-level availability directly: over a hundred events on sale at a time, down to individual seat positions, not just "tickets available."

Pricing itself sits behind an account-level connection rather than the open read API, so that piece is still to come. Booking completion is the same story as everywhere else in this launch: switched on carefully, once it's been checked end to end.

## What an agent can do through their Curator

- Discoverability
- Content Accessibility
- Bot Access Control
- Protocol Discovery
- Commerce

## What changed, and when

- **September 2026** Real seat-level availability became readable by an agent, via Spektrix.
- **October 2026** Coming soon.
