So thats good news at least Not sure if its the same as it is for music venues, but some of the grants are for the theatres to put on live performances as well. I know Earth are putting socially distanced shows on, so hopefully the grants will let some venues put shows on I was more on about festivals than venues, although I expect it's not much different with venues.

Homer Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Am on an improvised holiday (Supposed to be in Mykonos) borrowing a friend’s holiday caravan in Tenby. And The Weather Gods seem to have decreed that I deserve a break. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, so happy about this. I can't tell you how stressed I was all day at the thought of having to cancel it and stay here all over fireworks night. I'm hoping NI follow suit with their plans and don't go for a rumoured 6 week circuit breaker so I can get away as well! It was originally cancelled in Feb due to a broken jaw, then rebooked for April and cancelled due to lockdown (along with our actual summer holiday) and now I'm praying we can get away at Halloween as my partner is a teacher so can't get any other time off in Nov/Dec!

Will keep my fingers crossed for you. A change of scenery can do us all the world of good. We don't intend eating out or anything but when you work from home and work has been so hard all year being able to completely get away from it will be a blessed relief. Happy to do my cooking in a new kitchen for a fortnight as long as I can switch off from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's one of those things I understand why they are doing it but in my instance we will be safer going away than staying where we are (live in suburbia, going to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere where we intend to do nothing other than a dog walk a day from the house and watch telly) We're even arranging all food etc to be delivered. Can't help thinking if only they had reacted quicker and more decisively from the beginning we wouldn't be going through this. I still fear them changing their mind over here being stuck in our house over fireworks night with everyone else letting fireworks all over the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, we seem to be quite trigger happy with restrictions. If other parts of the UK which don't have 'circuit breakers' in place have tighter restrictions come Christmas, no doubt our politicians will follow suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
