Plan Your Visit Following the recent Government announcement and further lifting of restrictions, we are delighted to welcome a reduced indoor live audience into our three venue spaces for this yearâs 2020 Literature Festival where we will be professionally filming events for live broadcast. To be part of this exciting new way of producing live events we have put in place a series of COVID-19 measures to ensure the health and wellbeing of our audiences, participants, staff, and volunteers. We ask all our ticket buyers to read the following measures carefully before making their ticket purchases so that you are fully aware of what to expect when attending an event at this yearâs Festival. What we are doing to protect you Socially distanced seating In order to safely manage each event throughout the day, it is necessary for seats to be configured and sold as pairs or singles only. This has significantly reduced the capacity of each venue to about 30%, so tickets for events are likely to sell out quickly. Donât be disappointed as a livestream of events can all be viewed online for FREE on our digital hub Tickets available online only To minimise the number of people at the venues to keep you and our staff safe, there will be no onsite and venue based pop-up box offices. Please book your tickets online before you leave home. Tickets will come off sale 90 minutes before each event, this is to ensure that the ticket buyer receives all the necessary COVID-19 safety information before attending the event. Select Your Own Seat Tickets to this yearâs Literature Festival are being sold online only from our website. For your peace of mind, you will be able to choose what seats you sit in using our interactive seating plan. Although it may take you a little longer to book your tickets, we hope that this will give you reassurance and confidence, knowing that you are socially distanced from other audience members. Increased cleaning All areas within the venue, including toilets, will be cleaned and sanitised between events for each new audience.
