Following the Governments recent recommendations that people avoid theatres public gatherings we have made the hard decision to cancel Pirates live 2020!
Despite so much pre planning and investment already going into this show, and the fact that our amazing customers have continued to book seats despite this climate of uncertainty. We feel our priority is to put the safety, health and well-being of our staff, performers and audience members above all else.
It was also becoming increasing clear that our international cast members were going to be unable to join us and despite the extreme scenario we all face, we did not want to provide our amazing audiences with anything less than the world class show that they have come to expect from us.
We were readying to present acts from Argentina, Spain, Australia and Canada. In the current pandemic it didn’t seem appropriate or safe to put these performers or any one else at such risk.
We will be making the following available for those who have already booked tickets
Not only offering a voucher for one of our other shows during the year, but as a way of saying thank you for our audiences support and sorry for this inconvenience, we would in fact like to offer a voucher for the FULL value of any tickets booked plus 25% extra towards another performance.
So if for example someone booked £100 worth of seats they would be sent a voucher for £125 pounds that can be redeemed at one of our upcoming shows during the year.
If however they cannot attend another show and would prefer a refund, we are willing to do this also.
We ask people to bear in mind that due to this being a government request and not enforced, ourselves along with many public venues who will be forced to close, will be unlikely to receive any government or insurance compensation on lost earnings.
We have always been overwhelmed by the love and support that our audiences have shown us across so many years and we are already thinking about when we can be open once again entertaining you all once again.
We do however feel that this decision is important to try and safe guard our local community as it continues its battle against the spread of this virus.
