On the 16th of March, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, made a statement in regards to the COVID-19 and social distancing. The Government have increased the UK’s response by encouraging stricter measures surrounding social distancing.
These measures include advising against non-essential social contact; including avoiding pubs, clubs, restaurants and theatres as well as non-essential travel for a prolonged period.
Based on this statement we have taken the difficult decision to suspend the full programme of screenings and events at the Venue Cinema for a minimum of 12 weeks.
We appreciate this will be of immense disappointment to our patrons but our priority must be the health and safety of our customers, community and colleagues.
We will be doing our best to contact all customers with existing bookings and our hope is to postpone rather than cancel our events.
If you have any questions we recommend that you get in contact via email at thevenue@bishopg.ac.uk
Once again we apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience in what is a difficult and unprecedented situation.
We look forward to welcoming you back as soon as possible.
