Coronavirus: Suspended performances at The White Rock Theatre
Updated: 26 July 2021 at 1.12pm
Events at the White Rock Theatre that were scheduled to take place before and including Wednesday 4 August 2021 have been suspended.
Some shows beyond this date may also be subject to suspension or rescheduling.
The White Rock Theatre building and box office are temporarily closed.
Welcoming you back
We’re ready to welcome you back when restrictions are lifted and are aiming to open again with events at full capacity from 5 August 2021. Read more
Advice For Ticket Holders
We are working to reschedule as many of the affected performances as we can. Inevitably this will not be possible for all events - and some shows will not be rescheduled.
This event list will be updated regularly.
These procedures apply for all bookings made direct with the venue. If you booked through a third party agency (Ticketmaster, See Tickets) please contact them directly.
