Covid update – 16 December 2021

Following the latest Covid-related guidance from the Scottish Government, we have decided to cancel our Family Hogmanay Ceilidh. We were very much looking forward to hosting this very popular event at the Hall, and we hope that we’ll be able to host it next year. We’re going ahead with our planned film screenings in December and the production of Alice in Wonderland by Northumberland Theatre. To ensure social distancing during those events, we’ve introduced stricter Covid measures: 

  • Masks must be worn at all times in the Hall apart from when eating or drinking – this includes when sitting watching the film/production.  
  • We advise you to take a lateral flow test on Saturday before coming to the Hall and to record the results. If you have a vaccine passport, please download this on to your phone – random checks may be carried out.   If you or anyone in your household has any Covid symptoms, please do not come to the Hall at all. 
  • Seats will be well spaced out to encourage social distancing – you can sit in family groups.   Please try to avoid crowding in the toilets and bar areas.  Please do not allow children to run around the Hall unsupervised. 
  • Hand sanitiser will be available in the Hall for your use. 

Please note that all our future events are subject to change so please keep an eye out for our announcements on our website and social media. We’re monitoring the situation very closely and we’ll be keeping everyone informed. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Stay well!
