In view of the rapidly developing Coronavirus pandemic and constantly changing official advice, we believe it would be irresponsible to expose our staff and visitors to unnecessary risk.

Therefore it is with huge regret that we have taken the decision to cease all public facing operations until further notice. This decision has been extremely hard to make and will be subject to constant review with the aim of being able to reopen in time for the early May Bank Holiday.

This is not only to protect the public but also to protect our volunteers, many of whom are in the "at risk" groups as defined by Public Health England.
