July 2021:
We are really looking forward to ultimately welcoming more people into Arnolfini as we step through the changes to the government’s roadmap over the next few weeks.
However, we appreciate that the number of covid infections, particularly in Bristol, remain high at the present time and it remains our priority that everyone wanting to visit Arnolfini can do so with confidence and feel safe, this includes considering the needs of disabled and clinically vulnerable.
Our current plans are to:
- Maintain a booking system to allow us to ensure capacity is at levels that accommodate social distancing. Our experience over the last year indicates that this approach can usually allow a number of ‘walk-ins’ as well.
- Our team will continue to wear face coverings and we ask you do so too, particularly to consider those who have disabilities or are clinically vulnerable.
- At Arnolfini Harbourside Bar, customers will be asked to continue to wear face coverings while moving around the Bar, both inside and out. The team will continue to wear face coverings too.
We will be reviewing this regularly based on infection rates in Bristol and beyond and remain committed to creating a safe environment for all our visitors and community friends. We hope to be able to increase capacity as and when the situation allows.
We really appreciate your cooperation with this policy.
As a charity we do rely on donations in order keep this amazing facility available. You can donate online. Any amount is always welcome and we appreciate your support, thank you.
