We look forward to welcoming you back to Kings Place. We are working closely with everyone there to ensure the safest possible experience for audiences, staff and speakers. Even though government advice has changed, Kings Place continues to recommend wearing a face covering. We also encourage all audience members to wear masks and to use the sanitiser stations throughout the building. Jewish Book Week will have masks available for all at the front desk. If you test positive or have symptoms please do not attend; you will be offered a credit voucher valid for the next two years.
