Heritage Sector: let’s get back to it!

As anyone within the heritage and culture sectors knows, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic impact. Museums, galleries and other heritage organisations have had to shut their doors and send their staff home. Thankfully many have been able to take advantage of the furlough scheme which is helping somewhat, but numerous, especially the smaller museums and organisations are very badly affected.

That said, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. People are cautiously spending a bit more time at parks and outdoors, garden centers are opening, and perhaps it won’t be too long until museums and other visitor attractions can once again open their doors to the public.

We are also working on a new website for Folk By The Oak, a fantastic folk festival that takes place at heritage locations such as Hatfield House. Folk By The Oak have some world famous artists playing at their venues including Seasick Steve, Richard Thompson, Kate Rusby and many others. This is a great time to be working on visitor attraction based projects that will be opening next year.
