FAQs
Feeling nervous about attending any indoor event at the current time is entirely understandable. If you are unsure about what seats to book please contact our box office. If you are at a performance and feel uncomfortable, please talk to a member of our Front Of House Team.
If you need to use a particular entrance the information will be included in our pre-show email or a direct email. At the end of a performance, you may need to wait until a member of the Front Of House team directs you to exit. If at any time you are unsure please ask a member of the event team.
We are looking at how to minimise queuing and how people move around the venue to support current social distancing guidance. Timed entry may be used to minimise queues, in which case you will be contacted with your entry time. If you miss your time slot you may need to wait until the next available time to enter.
The theatre has an enhanced cleaning plan in place, all seating and surfaces are suitably sanitised between performances.
If you develop symptoms of COVID-19, you should self isolate and get tested with a PCR test as quickly as possible.
