UPDATE: We are looking forward to welcoming many of you to our concerts over the festive period. Please note the below COVID related points:
If you are able to, please wear a face covering in the entrance lobby of the venue (until you are seated) as these are usually smaller spaces.
To improve airflow, we are likely to have some windows and doors open. Therefore, warmer clothing is advised.
Happily we can announce an exciting programme of live music over the next few months!
