Staggered approach to Horsham Town Hall opening

Horsham Town Hall has reopened after an enforced closure due to COVID-19 restrictions.

A Pynsent Street entrance to the building is aligned to art gallery hours of 11am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.

Venue manager Shana Miatke said a staggered approach to opening, based on government guidelines, would enable venue staff to reopen, address community interest in future live performances and provide greater precinct activation.

“The venue will gradually and appropriately rebuild community confidence and resilience to help re-start, host and activate local social, cultural and business initiatives – including supporting and reactivating the events sector and heavily impacted arts, cultural and tourism businesses,” she said.

Ms Miatke said in complying with COVID-19 recommendations, all venue visitors would need to follow social-distancing measures and protocols. This includes registering details with staff and adhering to time limits. 

The venue will take bookings for ‘small’ events and meetings from August 3.
