• Sunset Sessions is an outdoor event and may be subject to adverse weather. We try to go ahead with Sessions wherever possible, and do not cancel for light/intermittent/potential rain.
• We strongly recommend customers bring wet weather gear to performances in case of rain (note the use of umbrellas during performances is not permitted as it obstructs the view of other audience members). Performances will be cancelled only if the weather poses a safety threat to patrons and staff. The decision to cancel a performance is made by the Harbour Trust and will be made by 10am on the day of the event.
• Patrons accept the risk that weather they consider unsatisfactory may occur on a performance night and acknowledge that tickets will not be refunded unless a session is officially cancelled prior to commencement by the Harbour Trust. Should the session be cancelled by the Harbour Trust due to adverse weather, a refund of the ticket price will be issued to the purchase holder.
• When a session is cancelled prior to commencement, customers will receive a cancellation email. In this instance, patrons will receive a full refund of the ticket price (including any additional addons purchased).
