Covid 19 Statement

During our festival we aim to provide a diverse programme of quality events while ensuring our audience, performers and volunteers have sufficient space, ventilation and sanitary precautions to minimise the spread of Covid19.

  • For all our festival events Shoreham Wordfest urges people not to attend if they are ill, have Covid-19 symptoms or have been in contact with others who have tested positive.
  • Audience members and our team of volunteers are encouraged to wear face coverings while indoors as much as possible, and to allow sufficient space between themselves and others. 
  • Social distancing will be undertaken as far as possible on entry to and exit from the venues. Entry and exit routes will be managed with one-way systems as much as possible.
  • Hand sanitiser and masks will be provided on entry to each event.  
  • Venues will not be filled to maximum capacity to allow some space for movement and between seating.  However, we will not be operating social distancing between seats.
  • Venues will be regularly cleaned and ventilated before and after use and we will ensure as much airflow as possible during events. 
  • Payment for refreshments, books or other products will preferably be made by card to avoid handling cash.
