As you may have seen, the Government has urged people to avoid non-essential contact with others, including going to pubs, clubs and theatres. We support this decision and wish to ensure the safety of our customers, staff, performers, promoters, crew and their loved ones.
As such, we are taking the hard decision to shut the venue and pub, effective immediately, until such time as further guidance allows us to reopen. This is not an easy decision, and we are continuing to assess, along with the Music Venues Trust and York Music Venue Network and our colleagues, how this will affect us and the sector in the long term.
As we said in our Facebook post, like many other people and businesses, the financial, social challenges and threats we face have increased greatly in these unique times but we want to make sure that we are doing the right thing whilst also helping to support musicians, promoters, other venues and our staff, customers and the community as a whole.
Please bear with us - we will be in contact with all promoters, artists and advance ticket holders in the coming days and will review the situation with shows over the coming months and continue to give you updates, but we will need some time.
With regards to cancelled and rescheduled shows, all tickets will remain valid for rescheduled dates and for cancelled shows tickets can of course be refunded. We are busy working with promoters and bands to look to reschedule shows, but this may take some time. We would however ask you to consider supporting the venue, promoters and artists by not refunding your tickets yet if you are able to afford it. We are facing a period with no income and continuing outgoing costs, so any help with cashflow will help us and others in the industry to survive.
We, along with all other members of the arts community have significant fixed overheads and as yet there is little information on what support will be given. We will continue to keep you updated and thank you for the support that has been already offered from you, the people that make us what we are.
In the meantime, there are numerous ways in which you can support the live music sector and the artists you love at this time from purchasing merch to buying records and there will be opportunities for you to support us and the people we work with and will let you know more in the coming days.
Please click here should you want to speak to us directly or get refunds on tickets.
For now, please look after one another and stay safe.
Love, Chris, Chris & the amazing staff and team at The Fulford Arms.
