The Court Theatre under current Covid-19 traffic light setting

Update: 06.04.22 

Vaccination Passes are no longer required:  

Under the current covid-19 ‘red’ traffic light setting, The Court Theatre now no longer requires visitors to have a current My Vaccine Pass for entry.  

However, all visitors eight-years-old and over (as per Ministry of Health guidelines) are required to bring and wear a mask indoors within The Court Theatre premises. This applies whether in the auditorium, the foyer or the classroom. Unless you are medically exempt from wearing a mask, these can only be removed while eating or drinking.  

These changes will enable us to maximise opportunities to operate at capacity, and as safely as possible, for our audience members, staff and cast members. 

For more information, please visit the Covid-19 Update section of our website. For FAQ in regard to COVID-19 and how it will affect your visit with us please visit here.

The Court Theatre and Vaccine Certificates

Update: 19.11.2021

Under the COVID-19 Protection Framework, more commonly called the traffic light system, to be introduced soon, the Government has mandated that indoor events (such as performances) will require staff and customers to be fully vaccinated.

Once the Ministry of Health advises that Canterbury can move to the traffic light system, The Court Theatre will require visitors to have a current vaccination certificate for entry to shows, or to access food or beverage, for people 12-years-old and over. This will enable us to maximise opportunities to operate at capacity, and as safely as possible, for our audience members, staff and cast members.

We will follow Government guidelines pertaining to the use of exemption certificates.

If you are not vaccinated by the time of your booked performance, then we will follow our re-booking (for a performance after you have been fully vaccinated) or refund process.

The implementation for the COVID-19 Protection Framework is still in development. While this progresses, we want to give everyone enough time to get fully vaccinated so that, once it is implemented, we can begin to share our community life again.

This performance will be staged in our auditorium, where we're regularly sanitising surfaces, including cleaning seats and tables thoroughly between performances. We have also placed hand sanitiser dispensers throughout the foyer. 

We also ask for your support in keeping our theatre clean and safe and encourage you, and all of our guests and employees, to:

• Always practice good hygiene and wash your hands frequently
• Place rubbish in the bin at the conclusion of your performance
• Cover coughs/sneezes, dispose of tissues and make use of the available hand sanitiser
• Refrain from attending the theatre if you're feeling unwell to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
