Safety Measures from 19 July onwards…

A word about how we are continuing to keep you safe.

Dear friends

The long-awaited relaxation of restrictions is nearly upon us but the safety of our visitors and team continues to be top priority, so here at Caistor Arts & Heritage Centre we will be taking a cautious approach.  We want ALL our visitors to be able to visit free from worry so to help you feel safe we will be maintaining some precautions.

After Monday 19th July our staff & volunteers will continue to wear masks in public areas, we will maintain our enhanced hygiene measures and we will keep the numbers at the reduced levels to enable social distancing and provide a more enjoyable experience.  Although we are happy to say the rule of six is no more, if you wish to get together with a group of family or friends, we’d love to see you! * 

If you are visiting Caistor Arts & Heritage Centre we kindly request that you wear a mask indoors** this includes the café, library & gallery (once seated at your table you are free to remove your mask).  Hand sanitiser will continue to be provides at all entrances and masks are available to buy in the Café if you have forgotten one.

The past year has been unlike anything any of us have experienced before, but what has made the challenges easier to bear has been the goodwill and support shown by everyone.  We will not be enforcing our policy around wearing masks but we ask you to continue to show consideration to others and as we navigate the next steps of this journey be mindful that while some people are making confident strides forwards other still feel the need for cautious small steps.

We look forward to welcoming you to Caistor Arts & Heritage Centre…

See you soon

The Caistor Arts & Heritage Team

 

* Up to groups of ten, if your group is 10 or more, please speak to us about a private event.

Caistor Arts and Heritage Centre is #HereForCulture

All of us at CAHC are delighted to reopen our doors to our local community - and we’re also thrilled to announce that we’re benefitting from The Culture Recovery Fund to support us through the next few months.

What is #HereForCulture?

We’re #HereForCulture: part of a movement that unites the public, government and cultural organisations in support of our fantastic cinemas, theatres, music venues, museums, galleries and heritage sites.

Culture creates jobs, supports livelihoods, and brings joy to everyone. The UK leads the world in the creative industries and we can all feel pride in that.

With an unprecedented investment through the £1.57bn Cultural Recovery Fund, the government is #HereForCulture so it can weather the storm of coronavirus and come back stronger. 

And we’re #HereForCulture too.

Reopening the Heritage Centre

We want people to make sure that where they are able to visit us, they do so in a covid secure way. Plus, with more and more culture being curated online, there is no better time to support and enjoy all the new and exciting ways culture is available to us. 

We’ve been hard at work at the Caistor Arts and Heritage Centre: redesigning our website to give everyone at home access to the very best of our local area, and safely reopening our doors to the public.

By being #HereForCulture, we aren’t just supporting the people in the industry, we’re also supporting communities across the country.
