IMPORTANT VENUE UPDATE - 19TH JULY ROADMAP DELAY
The Hare & Hounds Needs Your Support!
Well here we are again, pushed to the brink of ruin, forced to re-house a month’s worth of shows on a week’s notice. The delaying of the roadmap is a devastating blow to our venue and the hospitality industry as a whole. And while we understand the decision in light of the current data, we’re calling on the government to offer immediate financial support to hospitality businesses, like our own, in the face of dramatic financial losses from limited capacity trade, inflated staff costs to maintain social distancing, empty diary slots and cancelled/re-scheduled shows.
But there are a few very simple ways that you can help:
[1] We’ve seen a worrying trend with drop-outs and no shows in the last few weeks, and while we understand plans can change please let us know if you can no longer attend (thank you to those who do!), this gives us a chance to fill empty seats and maintain valuable trade within the venue.
[2] We are working tirelessly to reschedule all affected full cap shows, please bear with us and hold on to your purchased tickets if you can. If a new date cannot be found we’ll be offering full refunds to the relative ticket holders.
[3] And finally, please be patient with us – customers and promoters alike – as we navigate the updated roadmap. We’ll be announcing some new shows, talks and activities over the coming weeks to take us through to the new 19th July unlock date. Committing to our new reduced capacity programming will be nothing short of a lifeline, keeping the venue afloat as we once again prepare for a calendar of unrestricted entertainment just as we all remember it. The situation is dire, but with the right support we will dance again.
Much love from the Hare & Hounds to all who have supported us, and will continue to do so during this extremely difficult time <3
