COVID-19 SAFETY

​

A Midsummer Night's Dream is an entirely open air performance taking place in a large park in East Bristol. The capacity of the space is 160 seated, but we are not enforcing social distancing. The site will be regularly cleaned, including spot-checks, with hand sanitizer freely available.

 

To ensure we keep everyone safe, Insane Root kindly ask you to not attend your performance if you have symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. ​If you miss your booked performance due to COVID-19 we will transfer your tickets to the next available show (subject to availability).
