COVID-19 Safety Guidelines

Imagine Arts Festival is committed to preventing the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring the health, safety and well being of it's audience, artists and staff. Government and HSE guidelines are monitored regularly and safety measures for the festival are revised accordingly.

We ask that members of our audience be aware and respectful of current government and HSE guidelines and health recommendations in regard to COVID-19 when attending our events. The festival will not be a 'mixed' event and will require proof of vaccination and identification for attendance throughout the full programme. 

Early arrival time to our events is advised and we suggest being present up to 30 minutes before event start time.

Face coverings are required while moving about all venues and may be removed once seated.

We ask that you adhere to all of the public health and safety guidelines including proper hand hygiene and socially distancing.

We look forward to welcoming you to this year's Imagine Arts Festival and we hope that you have a comfortable and safe experience.

Welcome

Welcome to the 20^th anniversary of Imagine Arts Festival, and to this year's hybrid programme, in which we hope there is something for everyone to enjoy. This year's festival promises to enhance Waterford's tradition as a centre for the arts by making events available to a wider audience than usual. Our programme includes music, literature, dance, visual art, performance and history, as well as incorporating Waterford Writers Weekend.

Imagine would like to say ‘thank you’ to all of our artists, volunteers and audience, and also to the sponsors and advertisers who have contributed in so many ways over the past 20 years. We would also like to say a special ‘thank you’ to Waterford Council, the Arts Council and our venue and media partners for their continued support.

What's on?
