Plan your Visit

Push The Boat Out is going ahead keeping with COVID-19 regulations. Born out of a time of turbulence, the festival team, venue, founders and friends will continue to manage the festival in a safe and agile way. Please find information below on how we will be keeping our audiences, poets, team, and everyone else safe during our festival weekend:

• If you are ill and/or have any COVID-19 symptoms, do not attend the festival. You can contact boxoffice@summerhall.co.uk to have your ticket refunded.
• We strongly encourage you to take a lateral flow test (available to order for free here) before you attend any PTBO events. If your result is positive, do not attend the festival. Contact boxoffice@summerhall.co.uk to have your ticket will be refunded.
• Unless medically exempt, you will be required to wear a face covering at all times while in the venue (including while seated during performances) unless eating or drinking as per government guidelines.
• Be respectful of others’ comfort: this will be the first foray back into live events for many of us, including our performers. When possible, please maintain social distancing, for example in signing queues. We’re using restricted capacity to keep as much space as possible between folks and to avoid crowding.

Thank you for your understanding and patience with our team. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to info@pushtheboatout.org.
