Throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, the government have neglected our industries. Whilst some employers and businesses will survive, many will not. On 11th July, outdoor events were given the go ahead to restart dependant on a limited and socially distanced audience. We are calling on the government to provide us with provisional dates for the phases four and five of the plan for live events reopening set out by Oliver Dowden so that we have some indication of what the future holds for our sector.
