Weather Cancellation Policy – Outdoor Performances
What happens if it rains?
Usually performances do proceed if there is only very light, misty drizzle, however from time to time it will be necessary to cancel a performance.
While forecasts are naturally used as a guide, the decision to cancel a show is made ONLY on the day of performance.
Weather conditions can be very changeable and very localised. It may be raining in your town but dry and sunny at the performance site. We are very mindful of the comfort and enjoyment of our customers and we make every effort to not cancel performances unnecessarily. There will be times however, if weather conditions change unexpectedly, when shows are cancelled just prior to a performance or at a time when it is not possible to contact everyone far enough in advance to prevent unnecessary travel.
When a performance is cancelled in advance of the scheduled start time where possible, and time permitting, every effort is made to inform ticket holders by SMS, telephone or email.
Refunds are only offered if a performance is officially cancelled.
