COVID MEASURES
Keeping our venues a Covid free environment is a collaborative effort from us all. Help us keep live music and clubbing alive and safe. If you have symptoms please don’t turn up to the venues.
Please be aware some specific shows require proof of double Covid vaccination, proof of negative lateral low test or proof natural immunity. We will inform customers individually via email of any upgraded covid entry requirements, so please check your email before travelling to the venue.
NHS Track and Trace – It’s still possible to check into our venues using the NHS Track and Trace app.
Masks – As we are now operating at full capacity and in a small enclosed space we recommend all customers to wear a mask on entry and when moving around in the venue.
Sanitising Stations – We will have hand sanitisation stations at regular intervals through the venues so you can always top up throughout the show or club night.
Lateral Flow Tests – Please don’t come to the venues if you know you are infectious. We would advise to take a lateral flow test 48 hours before attending a show.
Get Vaccinated – We all want that full live gigging and clubbing experience back and the quickest way to get there is to go and get vaccinated and the very first opportunity.
Cleaning – High impact areas will be sanitised on a regular basis and the venues deep cleaned after every event.
ACCESSIBILITY
The music hall where live events take place is situated on the top floor of our beautiful listed building. If customers require assistance traveling up and down the stairs or if reserved seating would assist those who would find standing difficult, we will be happy to arrange this for you. Please contact us in advance at bookings@thedeafinstitute.co.uk. If you have other needs we may be able to assist with or have any questions or just want a chat please do not hesitate to get in touch.
CARER TICKET SCHEME
In our commitment to making the venue accessible to everyone, we will provide those ticket holders with a disability that require full time assistance with a complimentary ticket for their personal carer/assistant. To take advantage of this scheme please contact us with your ticket reference number. You will also be asked to please provide via email copies of recent (2010) DLA letters that show what your current level of care or mobility allowance is. We appreciate that some people may require assistance but not receive DLA, please contact us to discuss your access requirements. Each request will be looked at individually. The scheme is run on a first come first served basis up to the capacity of the venue and/or designated area.
We don’t send out the carer tickets in advance: the tickets will be issued at the event.
USE OF STROBE LIGHTING/STROBOSCOPIC LIGHTING EFFECTS AND OTHER STAGE EFFECTS
Strobe lighting, lighting that produces stroboscopic effects, smoke machines and other theatrical effects may be used during shows in our venue.
COMMUNITY & HARASSMENT
This is a space for everyone to feel welcome. Racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia or any other form of discrimination will not be tolerated. If anyone is violating your boundaries or harassing you, please speak to security staff or any other member of our team. If you say something we will help, this is a safe space and we have a zero tolerance policy towards harassment.
