Our audiences, artists and staff are at the centre of everything we do. As we welcome you back to our indoor shows we want you to reassure<\/strong> you that we\u2019re doing everything we can make you feel as safe as possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re following the official government guidance on working safely and liaising with local authorities. We're also putting into practice the invaluable experience of our open-air performances.\u00a0 There are also separate, rigorous protocols for artists and staff that will be used throughout rehearsals and into performances.<\/p>\n

Following the government\u2019s announcement in July 2021 and the further relaxing of restrictions, we have updated our protocols accordingly.<\/p>\n

DISTANCING:<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Government guidelines, from 19 July we are no longer being forced to keep our distance from each other, however we are also aware that some people may be nervous of sudden changes, so we have decided to keep all rows 1m+ apart, and seating blocks 0.5m apart.<\/p>\n

FACE COVERINGS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the wearing of face coverings is no longer mandatory we strongly encourage all audience members<\/strong> to wear a face covering for the duration of their visit, especially when moving around (unless exempt).\u00a0 Our Front of House & Steward Teams will continue to wear face coverings and use all necessary PPE<\/p>\n
