Sheffield's FlyDSA Arena issues coronavirus information to customers ahead of Cirque du Soleil

The circus showcase returns to the Arena for a seventh time from Friday 6 until Sunday 7 March, with four performances scheduled in the venue’s intimate theatre-style Steel Hall setting.

And ahead of the shows, important security information – including coronavirus advice – has been released.

A statement from the FlyDSA Arena said: “SIVLive are working with all relevant agencies to ensure we are providing the safest possible environment to enjoy our live events.

“Whilst the UK risk of coronavirus has been increased from low to moderate, the risk to individuals has not changed at this stage and remains low and the advice from the relevant authorities is that it is business as usual.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and encourage everyone visiting, working & performing in our venues to follow the current guidelines on personal hygiene”.

Bags larger than A3 size (about 40cm x 35cm x 19cm) are not allowed inside – and personal belongings should be kept to a minimum to avoid additional searches and delays to entrance.

There will be no access to the venue’s car parks without a ticket, which can be pre-purchased online or upon arrival. Drop-offs and pick-ups are also not allowed in the venue’s car parks.

The Arena is now a cashless venue and only takes card payments for on-site parking and at food & drink outlets.
