Covid-19 virus forces closure of Wyvern Theatre until further notice

Swindon's Wyvern Theatre has closed in support of efforts to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

A statement released by the theatre reads:

In response to the Prime Minister’s statement advising that people should avoid non-essential contact with others; all events and shows from Tuesday 17 March 2020 in our venue are suspended.

We appreciate this will be disappointing news, but hope customers will understand the unprecedented nature of the current circumstances.  Ultimately the health and wellbeing of all is the most important consideration at this time. 

We will be posting further statements over the coming days about the status of forthcoming shows.  Where performances do not proceed we will make contact with customers at the appropriate time to advise on the next steps.

We would ask all customers to refrain from contacting the Box Office unless absolutely necessary to do so.  Please be assured that we are working as quickly as possible to understand the implications and to put appropriate steps in place. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
