We want to keep everyone safe while attending our events during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have therefore put measures in place to keep audiences, general public, our Volunteers and staff safe. Please pay your part in reading our measures and abiding with them when you attend our events.
Please help us keep everyone safe by:
- Hands. Use sanitiser
- Face. Use a face mask if you’re unable to keep 2m distance
- Space. Keep your distance from those not in your household bubble. For outdoors this is 1m+ although we encourage you to keep 2m distance.
- Track and Trace. Please sign in to NHS Track and Trace where you see the QR codes around the town performance areas.
- If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, or have been in contact with anyone who has a confirmed or suspected case please do not attend and return home immediately. View the symptoms guidance here.
How will you ensure social distancing is maintained at the event?
We will have markings around the site and also signage to remind people of social distancing. We will mark out where people are to stand, allowing the 2m distancing. We will have staff and Volunteers working at the event who will help to ensure that everyone remembers to social distance.
Will you be operating a Track and Trace system?
We are encouraging all audiences to check in to the Track and Trace around the various performance areas in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre.
Will I need to wear a face mask?
We are asking people to wear a face mask if they are unable to keep a 2m distance from people. Please respect social distancing. Not everyone is able to wear a face mask or shield for medical reasons and so we ask people to respect each other in maintaining social distancing.
How will you ensure a safe environment where COVID-19 cannot spread?
This event is running entirely outdoors, and so there are no confined spaces that numbers of people will be in.
- We have carefully planned this event so performances in various locations in the town centre will be happening at different times of the day. We are doing this so that people can come at their leisure and visitor numbers will be more spread out.
- The performances will be taking place in various areas of the town this will help to spread people out and avoid there being congested spaces.
- We are making it clear to everyone that attends what we need from them on our pre-event information and onsite signage – including observing social distancing and the current government messaging of Hands / Face / Space. Anyone showing COVID-19 symptoms must not attend the event. In the event that they begin to feel unwell while attending, with COVID-19 related symptoms, we would ask them to leave immediately
