Welcome back to Chelmsford City Theatres!

Due to the national lockdown, we are unable to open the theatres.

When we do re-open, we will be able to bring you the best in theatre and cinema. 

Our team has worked hard to put everything in place to keep you safe as you enjoy our theatre. 

You can find out everything that you will need to know about measures we have put in place on this page. 

When you arrive

• We will be monitoring your temperature on arrival. 
• You will be asked to check in using the NHS Test & Trace QR code or by leaving your contact details with staff in the foyer.

Seating

• We have configured the seating to allow greater social distancing than Government guidelines require. 

Cleaning

• We will be increasing the level and frequency of cleaning around the theatre.
• We will be cleaning surfaces with a 28-day antiviral spray that kills viruses on contact.
• You will be able to use our touch-free hand sanitiser stations throughout the theatre,

Social Distancing
