As of Friday 20th March the cinema and restaurant closed following official government advice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a small business, with no state or external funding, we depend on people buying tickets and coming to the restaurant to survive. Any period of enforced closure of either the theatre or our restaurant will hit us very hard.

If you bought tickets for any performance which has either been cancelled or postponed then you have the following three options:

* Most people are accepting a credit note for the value of their tickets which can then be kept under their name at the Box Office and be used against future bookings when we are able to re-open. The credit note has no expiry date

* Some people are being extremely kind and helping us by refusing a refund altogether in order to help us survive as a small business and secure our future

* Finally some people are requesting a refund back to their credit card. If this is your choice then please bear in mind that as the building is closed it is only being visited sporadically, so we will need you to email us on mail@theriverside.co.uk with your contact number so we can give you a call next time somebody is in the building.

* This policy statement is constantly under review as the situation develops

* We will endeavour to keep you informed of performances which have been re-scheduled via this website and on our social media platforms. All live broadcast performances from The National Theatre, Royal Opera House and RSC have been cancelled until further notice.

The shows listed below have changed dates, and all tickets for the original performances have been moved to the new dates/times. If you are unable to make the new date/time then please email us on mail@theriverside.co.uk letting us know which of the three above options you wish to choose.
