FAQs – Attending Covid Secure Events
Will seating be socially distanced?
In line with government guidance, Shows from November 2021 onwards have been on sale with standard seating.
Theatre style seating in our venues sits well below our overall capacity with ventilation systems designed to cope with much larger audiences for standing events.
Are there any changes to arriving at and entering the venue?
We may stagger arrival times or use queueing systems to enable social distancing on entrance. We’ll let you know all of the details by email one week before show date.
You will be asked to sanitise your hands on arrival and it would help to have your tickets ready on a phone or tablet.
Will everyone need to take a Lateral Flow Test?
How do I prove that I am fully vaccinated?
Proof of vaccination is not currently required.
Will I need to wear a face covering?
Following recent government guidance, it is no longer mandatory to wear a face covering in our entertainment spaces.
However, we want all our customers to have an enjoyable experience, so we would ask that you wear face coverings on arrival and whilst moving throughout the venue, including accessing the toilets and bar facilities. You can remove your face covering to eat and drink whilst sat in your seat.
Are you operating test and trace at the venues?
Yes. We ask all customers to ensure they have downloaded the NHS Covid 19 Test and Trace app on their mobile devices before they arrive at the venue. QR codes will be on display at all entrances and customers will be asked to check-in to the venue via the app.
What extra measures are you taking to prevent the spread of the virus?
We have enhanced all cleaning, before, during and after your visit. Fresh air ventilation systems are in use throughout all events and we will be monitoring air quality. Regular cleaning will be in place across all toilets and public areas. You will see hand sanitiser units throughout the venue which we encourage you to use frequently throughout your visit and prior to entering the venue. We also ask you to wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds.
We will also be encouraging the wearing of face coverings throughout our entertainment spaces.
How will I know which restrictions apply to my event?
If you have bought your tickets with us direct or via TicketSource, we will send you all the information you need to know about your visit in advance via email, including door times, show times and arrival entrance.
We’ll also update you on any food and drink offers for your event. Also keep an eye on our social channels for all the latest updates and event info.
