The Terry O’Toole Theatre is committed to providing its audience with a safe environment and an enjoyable visit.
Before you come to the venue, you may wish to conduct a risk assessment. While the Terry O’Toole Theatre cannot write this risk assessment for you, we will be pleased to provide information that you feel is appropriate or relevant to your visit. [The Theatre does not have a generic risk assessment for attending a performance because there are many variable factors, according to the make-up of the visiting party and the staging of each production]
Under our licensed conditions, we are not permitted to do anything which might endanger our audience.
The theatre is licensed by North Kesteven District Council as a Place of Entertainment and complies with guidance given by the council on fire risk, staffing levels and safe evacuation of the public and staff.
We have a dedicated Front of House Team which manages the safety of the public from 1 hour before a performance to 30 minutes after the show ends. All members of staff are CRB Enhanced checked.
The Terry O’Toole Theatre, and NK Centre has health and safety policies, safeguarding procedures and work practises and fire risk and emergency evacuation assessments in place.
