Update: 22 February 2022

High priority is given to ensuring the safety of audiences, cast and supporting crew for performances at the Sewell Barn Theatre.  A wide range of Covid-security measures were taken for our recent productions, and these were well-received by our audiences.  Although formal government restrictions are being lifted, we will continue to take a precautionary approach through the following:

• Audience numbers will be limited to 60% of our maximum capacity (i.e. 60 tickets), for at least the first three productions in our 2021-22 season.  This will allow a space of at least one empty seat between different groups, whilst also reducing crowding in the foyer and elsewhere in the theatre.

• Audience members who are not double-vaccinated are strongly encouraged to take a lateral flow Covid test before coming to the theatre, for as long as local infection rates remain relatively high.

• Actors attending auditions and/or performing in the theatre are required to have at least two Covid vaccinations

• Anyone with Covid symptoms should not attend productions, and a refund will be given in those circumstances.

• Hand sanitiser will be available in the foyer, Front of House stewards and bar servers will continue to wear masks, and additional cleaning will be carried out in all public areas of the theatre.

• Pre-ordering of interval refreshments before the start of the performance is encouraged.  Card payments will be accepted as well as cash.

• Online booking is encouraged, and (because of reduced numbers) there is no certainty that tickets will also be available on the door.
