COVID19 Information For Visitors

We want you to feel safe and comfortable during your visit, so you can find all our COVID Safety measures on this page. Please take the time to read these guidelines before attending a show.

COVID SAFE MEASURES

Any patron / visitor, hirer, company and employee, attending the venue with COVID symptoms or a positive COVID test is encouraged to stay home.
Face masks are encouraged within all areas of the theatre.
Social distancing is encouraged where practical - in the foyer, queuing for entry/exit, or visiting the bar and restrooms
Please continue to practice good hand hygiene when using restrooms, and use the hand sanitiser provided throughout the venue.

REFUND/EXCHANGE POLICY:

When an event is cancelled

In the event of a performance being cancelled or rescheduled due to COVID-19, the ticket buyer will be entitled to exchange their tickets to the new date, convert their ticket price into a gift voucher valid for 3 years, or obtain a full refund when contacted by our Box Office staff at the time of cancellation.

Any payments made using Service NSW Discover vouchers will be converted into an Art House Gift Voucher (valid for 3 years), and the remaining balance refunded back the way it was purchased (e.g. to credit card or EFTPOS).

Once tickets are exchanged for a rescheduled performance, the new transaction is final, and our standard refund/exchange policy will come into effect. Under this policy, tickets are not refundable and cannot be exchanged except as set out in the LPA Code of Practice for Event Ticketing in Australia.

If you are experiencing COVID symptoms or have a positive COVID test

If you are feeling unwell with COVID-19 symptoms or awaiting COVID test results please do not attend the theatre. You will be able to receive a gift voucher for the value of the ticket purchase to use for a future show at The Art House (valid for 3 years). Please contact our Box Office via phone (02 4335 1485) or email ([email protected]) up to 4 hours prior to your performance start time as indicated on your ticket. For shows over the weekend your gift voucher may be processed on the next working day, but you must still notify the Box Office up to 4 hours prior to performance time. If you notify the Box Office within 4 hours of a performance commencing, we are unable to issue credit, but you are welcome to give your ticket to someone else to attend in your place. If you become unwell and are unable to attend, someone may attend in your place.

Please do not visit The Art House if you;
- are experiencing cold or flu like symptoms
- are awaiting the results of a COVID test
- have recently tested positive for COVID-19
