UPDATED JULY 2021
We’re delighted to be back open for live performances, which will play to non-socially distanced audiences from Monday 19 July.
Our newly refurbished Belgrade Café and Nineteen 58 Bar will also be open for food and drink without table service. Find out more about opening times.
Thank you for your continued support. With our City of Culture now happening, there’s plenty to look forward to!
Our exchange and refund policy remains in place, in case any shows are unable to go ahead, so you can book with confidence.
Guidelines for attending events:
At the Belgrade, the safety of our audiences and staff members remains our top priority. We have signed up to UK Theatre’s See It Safely initiative to ensure that your trip to the Belgrade is a safe and enjoyable one.
Find out what safety measures we have put in place below. If you have any questions or concerns that are not covered here you can email a member of our Box Office team via boxoffice@belgrade.co.uk.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the Belgrade.
-
Be sure to set aside more than enough time for your journey to the venue; if possible, walk or cycle at least part of the way. Please check your route if travelling by public transport as this may have recently changed.
-
The majority of tickets will be e-ticket or print-at-home ticket. This will allow you to enter our venue more easily, minimise the amount of time you may have to queue, and reduce contact with the front of house team.
-
We will continue to ensure that you have maximum flexibility by allowing the cost of your tickets to be credited back to your Belgrade account up to 24 hours prior to the performance – so if someone in your party is confirmed as Covid positive or has symptoms, there is no need to worry.
If these circumstances apply and you cannot attend please contact the Box Office via boxoffice@belgrade.co.uk
-
In line with government guidance with regards to face covering indoors, we strongly recommend that you continue to wear face coverings out of respect for fellow audience members and our companies when coming into our theatres and especially when moving around the theatre.
If you are exempt from wearing a face covering it would help our front of house staff and fellow audience members if you wear an exemption badge which can be downloaded here.
-
The Government has said that they expect the Test, Trace and Isolate system will remain necessary through the coming autumn and winter but checking in or providing contact details to venues will now be voluntary.
We will continue to provide QR codes for people to check in using the NHS app, and other options for people to give us their details for Test and Trace, and strongly recommend that all our visitors continue to use this system.
-
Please keep all belongings to a minimum and with you at all times.
-
We don’t currently plan to take temperature checks.
-
As of 19 July, we will be able to open at full capacity so you may well be sitting next to other people.
We will continue to ask you to maintain a safe social distance where possible when queuing to take your seats and moving around the theatre. You may need to pass someone to take your seat in a row – to mitigate risk we recommend wearing your face covering while moving around the theatre.
There are certain seating areas, such as sitting in a box, that will naturally continue to be a socially distanced option. To find out about such seats we recommend contacting the box office directly for the show you wish to attend.
-
To help keep you safe the theatre will be thoroughly cleaned throughout the day, including before and after all performances. This will include the disinfecting of public areas including toilets, floors, doors and furniture.
Front of House staff and cleaners will follow all safety guidelines.
We have also installed kick-pads on toilet doors reducing your need to touch them.
Hand sanitising stations have been set up for your use. We ask that you sanitise your hands upon entering and exiting the building.
Our Fresh Air Handling system will be on in both auditoria. This system continually extracts the air from the auditorium and replaces it with fresh air.
