Piece Hall cancels its Christmas Programme of events in 2020

The announcement comes as the Piece Hall Trust announced a new click and collect service to help its tenants.

On their website the Piece Hall said: "Following the announcement of a new national lockdown we have reluctantly made the difficult decision to cancel or postpone our Christmas programme of events and activities for this year.

With continued uncertainty about the length of a lockdown, we felt it was important to give as much advance warning as possible to all those concerned, including artists, traders, tenants, staff team, contractors and ticket holders.

"This is deeply disappointing but probably not unexpected news and we appreciate your continued support and understanding in how we are having to continuously navigate and adapt throughout this pandemic.

For anyone who has already bought a ticket for Dinner & Christmas Cabaret or Caygill Comedy Club you will be automatically eligible for a full ticket refund less the admin booking fee; Father Christmas Comes to The Piece Hall is postponed until next year and tickets will be automatically transferred to new dates in December 2021, if you are unable to attend the rescheduled dates let us know within 30 days and you will be entitled to a refund. The Box Office will contact all ticket holders. Please be patient with the team as they work through the process."
