What happens if it rains? Or there is a heatwave?
We do not have roof cover at our performance location.
We may have to cancel in really severe wet and windy weather, or of course a heatwave.
If this is likely, a warning email will be sent to participants the day before, followed by a final decision message by 9am on the day.
However, we don't take this decision lightly - we have never cancelled an event yet (even covid-19 only moved us online!)
