General – There is currently no official directive regarding the avoidance of cultural events within the UK.
As always, caution and care should be exercised by all, and key advice to avoid the spread of the virus has been published on the NHS website. The NHS’ guidelines currently remain that most people can ‘go to work, school, and other public places’.

Please be assured that the health and safety of everyone who comes to Clonter is paramount, and we are following the Government guidelines and developments very closely. However we are asking everyone visiting or working in the building to stay aware of the latest advice from Government on Coronavirus.

Some tips for staying safe while visiting a theatre include:

  • Take a packet of tissues into the performance and ensure they are readily available to catch a cold or sneeze during a performance, be prepared to offer them to fellow audience members around you who may not have one, and dispose of it in a bin at the soonest opportunity.
  • If you don’t have access to tissues, use your sleeve rather than your hands.
  • If you believe you might have Coronavirus, have recently visited a high-risk country within the last 14 days, or you’ve been in contact with someone with coronavirus, you should call 111, and DO NOT go to a theatre!

 

Refund/Exchange Policy – The Coronavirus issue is of course an ever-changing situation and we will continue to closely follow guidance from Public Health England. However, we wish to reassure anyone considering booking for an event that if the government instruct all theatres to close, you would receive a full refund from Clonter. If however you are feeling unwell or decide to exert extra precautionary action, and therefore self-select not to come, we would offer an exchange service as per our usual terms and conditions – see below.
