Updated Guidance – From 24th Feb 2022

Following the Government’s announcement regarding the lifting of Covid restrictions, we will be relaxing some of the measures taken within our building, including the QR Code “Check-In” and much of the signage and guidance information on display.

However, we remain committed to ensuring the safety of all our staff and visitors, and will be continuing with the following:

  • Regular testing for staff
  • Enhanced cleaning
  • Hand sanitiser available in all areas
  • Increased ventilation
  • Our staff will continue to wear face coverings while performing their duties throughout the building. We strongly encourage customers to wear facemasks while in The Cresset.
  • We strongly encourage cashless / contactless payments wherever possible.

We remain committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable visit for all. We fully support people’s right to make their own decisions about their personal safety and ask that all visitors remain respectful of other people’s choices. Wherever possible please allow space for others to feel comfortable. If you wish to wear a face covering we fully support this decision.

Before you attend an event at The Cresset we continue to recommend that you complete a lateral flow test, and do not visit if you test positive or are displaying symptoms.

If you have any further questions please do get in touch by emailing the Box Office.

We hope you enjoy your time at The Cresset!

If you have any issues, require assistance on the night or have any queries, our staff are happy to help – please ask us if you need anything!

We will do our utmost to resolve any unforeseen problems or issues that may arise.
