Micdrop Event Spaces
To support a safe return to events, it is going to require a combined effort from everyone involved; from the event manager, event guests, catering team, right through to the cleaning crew.
MicDrop recognises the integral role it plays here to support our community and requests that event managers and their guests recognise their role in contributing towards this.
As venue operators we have implemented a number of necessary measures to accommodate the wellbeing of event managers and their guests in this new climate.
The below expands upon existing policies as well as introduces new measures now in place at all of our locations. These policies and measures will continue to be expanded upon in the coming weeks to ensure we are all able to navigate and respond to changing circumstances.
Strict adherence to our Health Policy is required for all event managers and guests in order to keep everyone safe.
We ask all event managers and guests to be respectful of one another and to refer to all signage, markers and directions throughout the space.
We are looking forward to working together and returning to a productive workplace.

The MicDrop team are available to discuss any queries you may have.
