Coronavirus: Suspended performances at Southend Theatres
Updated: 28 May 2020, 11:03pm
Events at the Cliffs Pavilion and Palace Theatre (including the Dixon Studio) that were scheduled to take place before and including 28 June 2020 have been suspended.
Some shows beyond this date may also be subject to suspension or rescheduling.
The Cliffs Pavilion and Palace Theatre buildings and box offices are temporarily closed.
Advice For Ticket Holders
We are working to reschedule as many of the affected performances as we can. Inevitably this will not be possible for all events - and some shows will not be rescheduled.
This event list will be updated regularly.
These procedures apply for all bookings made direct with the venue. If you booked through a third party agency (Ticketmaster, See Tickets) please contact them directly.
