    COVID-19 FAQS

    Will there be any COVID restrictions / guidelines in place?
    It is very difficult to say what will be in place later this year, we are hoping that there will be minimal restrictions, however we will be keeping a close eye on the news and working very closely with the venue and local government to ensure everyone is safe.

    Do I have to wear a face covering?
    Although this is not compulsory, we strongly encourage that face coverings are worn whilst you visit any inside area of the show.

    Do I have to be ‘double jabbed’ or have proof  of COVID status to attend the show?
    No, at this stage, this is not a mandatory requirement and we will not need to see evidence of a negative lateral flow test. However we advise all visitors follow the current Government recommendations and guidelines.

    If the show doesn’t go ahead due to COVID-19, will I get a refund on my tickets?
    If the show is unable to go ahead due to COVID-19, all tickets will be valid for next year’s show. You won’t have to do anything – just hold on to your tickets and bring them with you to the show as normal. Alternatively, if you would like to request a refund on your ticket price, please call our ticket support team Redbox on 0333 242 7912.
