How The PumpHouse is Operating at Level 2

By Meg Andrews on 15 September 2020

We have had a few calls and emails over the last few days about how we are operating and hosting shows at alert level 2.5.

Because we are a “controlled access business” (like cinemas and conference venues), the latest Covid-19 Health Order states that we can have up to 100 patrons in our venue, with 1m spacing between each group/bubble of up to 10 people.

This means each booking is separated by the next by at least one empty row, and two empty seats. This allows us to seat roughly 70 people.

We’re closely following guidance from the Entertainment Venues Association of New Zealand, and advice on the Government Covid-19 website.

We have put much time and effort into creating an environment where people are socially distanced from other groups, from the time they arrive to the time they leave.

Keeping Safe When You Are Here

We’ve put a lot of thought into how we can keep people safe when they visit. Check out a summary of what we are doing below.
