Sorry We Are Closed, Watney Hall, Lydney

The notice is at the entrance to Watney Hall at 3 Hill Street in May 2021 during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It shows SORRY WE ARE CLOSED. We did try to open but we completely understand why some customers do not feel comfortable and it was difficult to socialise in the safe environment that we have created. We will keep the matter under review in line with the regulations, but we do not expect to reopen until at least October.
