Socially Distanced Shows to Launch in January

Monday 23 November 2020

We are thrilled to announce that we will be running a programme of socially-distanced concerts from January 2021. Artists scheduled to appear in January and February 2021 include This Is The Kit and Scott Matthews (both in partnership with the Cambridge Folk Festival), Penelope Isles, BC Camplight, and Shame.

Strict social-distancing rules will be in effect, with a maximum of 200 audience members per show, mandatory face coverings, temperature checks, and other safety measures to guard against the spread of Covid-19. All tickets for socially-distanced events will include a no-fuss money back guarantee in case the show is cancelled due to government restrictions or a customer falls ill.

Cllr Anna Smith, Executive Councillor for Communities, commented: “I’m thrilled to be able to announce this news. I know so many people have missed live entertainment, and I feel sure many Cambridge residents will be delighted to see the first signs of a return to live entertainment. Council officers have been hard at work preparing for this moment for months, and we look forward to welcoming audiences back to the Corn Exchange from January.”
