To keep all our audiences, staff and players safe, we kindly ask you to follow the Covid safety regulations at our performance venues across the UK.

Please help us to ensure a safe concert experience for everyone.

Southbank Centre (Royal Festival Hall), London

Southbank Centre requires face coverings to be worn in their buildings throughout your visit (including during performance). Please be prepared to also show an NHS Covid Pass or equivalent if you are over the age of 18.

Your NHS Covid Pass or equivalent provides proof of double vaccination or of a negative PCR or lateral flow test that has been taken within 48 hours of your visit to the Southbank Centre. You can provide this proof via the NHS App or NHS website, or confirmation email and/or text message via the NHS self-report tool or by calling 119.

Southbank Centre requires face coverings to be worn in all its buildings (Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Hayward Gallery). Face coverings must be worn inside their buildings throughout your visit, including during performances, and in their galleries, shops and foyers.

The only exceptions to this are for those who are exempt from wearing face coverings, children under the age of 11, and when you are eating and drinking. If you are exempt from wearing a face covering, please advise a member of the team upon arrival.

Southbank Centre’s Visitor Experience team will be happy to provide you with a mask, if you have forgotten yours.

The Anvil, Basingstoke

Anvil Arts requires face coverings to be worn in their venues (unless exempt, under 11 or eating and drinking). Tickets must be booked in advanced and are issued as e-tickets which you can print at home or show on your phone.

Please arrive at their venues with plenty of time and be prepared to queue observing social distancing. They strongly encourage all audience members to check in using the NHS QR code or provide contact details using the Track and Trace form to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Bedford Corn Exchange, Bedford

Bedford Corn Exchange requires everyone to wear a face covering inside their venue at all times, unless you are exempt.

Bedford Corn Exchange requires ticket holders aged 18 and over to demonstrate their COVID-19 status on arrival via the NHS COVID Pass, as a condition of entry to the venue, by providing one of the following:

  • Proof of being vaccinated with both doses (with the second dose received at least 14 days before the performance you are attending).
  • Proof of a negative Lateral Flow or PCR test, logged within 48 hours of the performance you are attending.

The easiest way to demonstrate your COVID-19 status is via the COVID Pass available through the NHS App. The app records your vaccination status and logs all PCR and Lateral Flow test results (providing you report your Lateral Flow test results). You can also use the online NHS COVID Pass service. Valid text or email confirmations of Lateral Flow or PCR test results from within the past 48 hours are accepted as proof of COVID-19 status as well.

The Marlowe, Canterbury

It is now mandatory for everyone over the age of 11 to wear a mask when visiting The Marlowe (unless you are medically exempt). Please make sure that you remember your mask when visiting them.

Currently, they do not expect audiences to show evidence of their vaccination status.

De Montfort Hall, Leicester

De Montfort Hall requires everyone over the age of 11 to wear a mask, unless you have a legitimate reason not to, such as a medical exemption, or are eating or drinking. They will have masks available should you forget to bring yours.
