Town topic: Festival Hall now back up and running as a covid-secure venue

During lockdown, the Town Council utilised the opportunity provided by the closure to undertake internal decoration and repairs, including substantial refurbishment of the wooden floor to ensure that when the Hall reopened it was not only safe for use but also provided the best possible standards to hirers.

Extensive work has been undertaken by council officers to ensure that the Festival Hall can be safely used during the current pandemic and that both hirers and staff are protected in line with all government recommendations.

Due to this work, the Festival Hall can be classified as a Covid-Secure venue.

Hall users will notice increased cleaning of the hall and frequent sanitising of touch points, provision of hand sanitiser and masks, (as face coverings must be worn except for where government exemptions are in place), a new one way system , NHS Test and Trace app check-ins and provision of a dedicated safe area should any user fall ill.

If you would like any further information regarding any of the activities held at the Festival, or hire of the main hall for Covids Secure activities, please contact the Community Manager on 01673 308010 or via [email protected].

The smaller committee room is not available for use.
