HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Testing is not mandatory, but we do expect all singers to take very seriously their personal responsibility for not bringing ANY transmissable illness to the singing. Please DO NOT attend if you are experiencing any symptoms of cough, common cold, COVID, Flu, or other infectious illness.
Please note that the singing takes place in an art gallery. The room is open to gallery visitors and chairs will be made available for people who wish to sit and listen. Access to the room and to toilet facilities is via public areas.
We won’t tolerate bullying, harassment or disruption. Our rules are simple: treat each other with kindness, respect the conventions of the tradition and strive for harmony.
FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS
No food or refreshments are provided as part of this half day singing, and note that food or drink is not allowed to be consumed in the gallery. Only lidded bottles of water are permitted in the singing space.
We recommend you bring your own food to eat outdoors, or downstairs where there is an indoor picnic space. There are no shops nearby and the café is normally very busy on weekends.
