As cultural venues across the city-region continue to respond to the changing threat of COVID-19, as a sector, we want to reassure audiences and visitors alike that your health and wellbeing is our utmost priority. No two venues will respond to changing guidance from the government in exactly the same way. Our venues are different sizes, shapes and operate in different ways appropriate to the needs of those individual businesses.
What is consistent, however, is the care and attention each venue will bring to keeping audiences safe and the thrill and excitement our artists, production companies, staff and volunteers feel at the thought of being able to share great art and culture with you face to face. The pandemic has been a tough old time, but we’re standing side by side ready to welcome you back.
WILL I NEED TO WEAR A MASK?
We do encourage visitors to still wear a face covering at all times when moving through our building and when seated in the auditorium unless you are eating or drinking.
Children under 11 do not need to wear face coverings as a legal requirement, we strongly recommend that children do wear them to ensure everyone’s safety.
DO I NEED A ‘VACCINE PASSPORT’ OR A NEGATIVE TEST RESULT TO ATTEND?
No, we are not currently asking for a vaccine passport or negative test result from visitors. This is subject to review and may change in line with COVID-19 guidance. We’ll let you know if the situation changes. You may wish to take a test in advance of your visit in consideration of our staff and other visitors.
Please note, partner venues may require a vaccine passport or negative test result from visitors. If you have tickets to see a Contact show at another venue and have any questions or concerns, please email boxoffice@contactmcr.com and we’ll get in touch with you as soon as possible.
WILL I GET A REFUND IF I TEST POSITIVE?
If you are unable to attend a performance because you have tested positive for COVID-19, developed symptoms or have been asked to self-isolate, you will be eligible for a full refund.
Please note, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges unless you or a member of your household is experiencing COVID symptoms or has tested positive. Please get in touch with our box office team for help or advice
