Although we can welcome the ending of Covid restrictions, we can bear in mind the Government’s statement that we still “need to learn to live with [COVID-19] and to manage the risk to ourselves and others”.

Please do not come to the concert if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. For reassurance of all, we will be checking temperatures  at the entry to the concert by non-contact infrared thermometer.

The church is well-ventilated and does not come within the Government category of an “enclosed or crowded space” necessitating masking. But to ensure optimum risk management, please wear a mask when you are entering or moving about within the church, (unless of course you have a medical exemption). We respectfully ask you to consider maintaining the use of masks during the concert itself unless you are satisfied that removing them would not cause your immediate neighbours unease. Thank you for your consideration.
