News from producers around Derbyshire

In response to the Government’s latest guidance concerning the COVID-19 virus, and in the best interests of our visitors and staff, Derby LIVE regret to announce that our events programme will not be going ahead for at least the next 12 weeks.

We are working with event organisers to postpone as many as possible, and to reschedule new dates as soon as we can. Here is a list of everything affected. We will update this list when new information becomes available.

City centre events:

Following the advice from yesterday evening, we have decided to close our shop at the Barn. We will be open today (Tuesday 24th March) 10 to 2 for people to collect their orders, and if anyone would like any of our fresh stock we will be selling it off between those times.

We will continue to be available for deliveries Monday to Friday, with fresh stock and will adapt this for NHS and essential workers. We will post updated order forms with more items available including fresh meat, pies, eggs, bacon, cheese, milk,etc.

In response to the government’s latest advice regarding the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, we have taken the decision today to close all of our museum sites to the public with effect from Wednesday 18 March 2020, until it is safe for us to re-open. This closure applies to all of our sites at the Museum & Art Gallery, Pickford's House and the Silk Mill.

We have made the decision to close our country parks with immediate effect.

As the full impact of the Coronavirus affects us all, we understand that everyone in our sector is facing serious challenges, both immediate and in the coming weeks. We are working hard to ensure that you have support in place, both now, and once this crisis is over, so that we can all survive and then start to rebuild and recover as quickly as possible once we are able to welcome visitors to this wonderful part of the country.

With the current, escalated seriousness and Government advice on social distancing/hygiene with regards to Covid 19, it is with a heavy heart that we have paused all project workshops and events, both outside and inside of our venue, until further notice. 
 

We have done this in the best interests of protecting staff, all the people who use our venue and/or attend our or others’ activities.

This is a difficult time for us all, but the welfare of our visitors and staff must always come first. Derby Active will temporarily close its doors to the public in response to the government’s latest advice concerning the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. This means Derby Arena, Queen’s Leisure Centre, Springwood Leisure Centre, Moorways Stadium, Allestree Park Golf Course and the Steve Bloomer ATP pitch at the Racecourse will be closed from and including Thursday 19 March 2020, for at least 30 days.  

In response to the Government’s latest guidance concerning the COVID-19 virus, and in the best interests of our visitors and staff, Derby Libraries will be closing their doors temporarily after business hours on Saturday 21 March. This will be for at least four weeks.

It's a very strange time just now, and we haven't sent out a 'Covid19 update' or a 'Gallery closed' email or even a ‘Support us during this time' email because I'm sure you must be bombarded with these sorts of emails, and just now, we really don't want to ask anything of you at all other than connection.

In amongst the uncertainty, we just want to extend a hand virtually and your well wishes and good vibes would be gratefully received.
