Can Aqua Rugby go Ahead in Bad Weather?

ARA events are all-weather outdoor events that will go ahead in most weather conditions. The event will only be cancelled if the weather is deemed hazardous and puts the safety of guests and staff at risk. If an event is cancelled due to hazardous weather, ARA will use all reasonable endeavours to refund ticket prices depending on any operative, applicable and responsive insurance policies, and ARA’s operational requirements. Any refunds will be entirely at the discretion of ARA.

Whilst every effort is made to mitigate the risk, we cannot accept responsibility if ARA events are cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or any relevant public health orders which restrict attendance at ARA events. Such decisions are completely out of our control, and we cannot guarantee that your ticket price will be refunded in these circumstances.

The following matters will be taken into account by ARA in considering whether to cancel an ARA event:

winds in excess of 50 knots;
dangerous waves and/or swell;
a passing lightning storm; and
any other hazardous or dangerous weather conditions.
