Weather Policy

Oxford Playhouse's weather policy applies to all performances on the OP main stage, the BT Studio stage and our offsite productions. (If you have booked for an event sold through Tickets Oxford, please contact the company holding the event directly for information regarding its inclement weather policy.)

OP performances will continue in all but the most extreme weather conditions (where it may be deemed unsafe for the production to continue).

As weather conditions can change, and forecasts inaccurate, the decision to cancel or postpone a performance may not be taken until the published start time. We ask that everyone arrives prepared for the expected weather condition. Refunds will only be offered if a performance is cancelled or postponed.

If, owing to inclement weather, you are unable to attend a performance on the day, please contact the Box Office who will advise about a refund or credit.

If a performance continues and you are unable to stay for the complete performance because of the weather condition, please contact the Box Office as soon as possible. The team will attempt to move your tickets to another time (subject to availability).

Credit Notes

Credit notes have an expiry date of 12 months and can now be used online. (You need to be logged-in to your account in order to see your credit balance).

Please note: once the 12 months have passed, your credit note will be removed from your Oxford Playhouse account. Do contact the Box Office to find if you still have a credit.
