FAQs
What happens if it rains?
We are an all weather festival and perform through drizzle and light rain. If rain is forecast, make sure you bring a waterproof jacket, an umbrella and a ground sheet to protect you from the elements.
If rain becomes persistent or heavy, we may stop the performance for a few minutes until it eases and then continue on. There are large trees to take shelter under during this time.
If a performance is deemed ‘rained out’ either before or at any time during the performance, there are no refunds, however your tickets can be redeemed at any future 2012 Sydney Shakespeare Festival performance. If a performance is rained out in the final week, your tickets can be redeemed at any future 2012 or 2013 Sydney Shakespeare Festival performance.
Check our weather page for weather updates on the day of the performance.
