Thank you to all of our users in being so patient and understanding that despite the doors re-opening there has still been work to do. Behind the scenes the team are working hard to make things happen to create a safe and inclusive community space. 

The new additions implemented during the past couple of weeks have been the new main hall black out curtains and blinds in Callard, Ives and Priestley rooms. Also a new mobile stage which will live in the main hall, however, can be moved to the small hall and shape changed subject to the event. 

Next month will see the acoustic treatment with the installation of wall and ceiling baffles in every room.
