It’s felt like an age since we were last able to visit the theatre, but the industry’s future is beginning to look hopeful again as venues are permitted to reopen this spring.
Under the step three of the government’s roadmap out of lockdown, indoor and outdoor theatres in the UK are currently scheduled to reopen from 17 May.
However, there will be limits on how many people can attend events, with most venues requiring tickets to be booked within households or bubbles. We recommend checking out each theatre’s guidelines for returning before booking tickets.

Pick of the Day
The Tommy Tiernan Show, 9.45pm, RTÉ One

A master of improvisation, Tommy Tiernan continues to draw huge audiences to his unique show, where neither the presenter nor the viewers are told the identity of the guests in advance.
At this stage, The Tommy Tiernan Show has become an essential part of Saturday night telly-viewing. It s as simple as that.

At the end of April, operations will expand city-wide, with support from Jara Sweeping and The Munro Group. Work is scheduled to be completed by mid-June, depending on weather and the impact of COVID-related restrictions on operations.
