Covid-19 Safety Measures

The capacity for this year’s event has been reduced slightly to allow protocols for Covid-19 safety.

Whilst vaccine passports will not be policed by the RSC, we would suggest that guests ensure they have one and/or take a negative test in the run up to the event, which will help ensure the safety of other guests.
Masks must be worn when moving around the building.

We very much look forward to welcoming you on the day
