The Music Venue Trust have updated their list of venues in danger of being closed forever – with some saved but six more now at risk.
The MVT’s #SaveOurVenues campaign, designed to help the grassroots gig spaces at risk of closure due to coronavirus restrictions, revealed a list of 30 venues on ‘red alert‘ and in a critical situation back in November. These were venues that did not benefit from the £1.57billion Culture Recovery Fund to help them stay afloat until they can safely reopen.

A BRIDGWATER music venue has been deemed as being in imminent danger of permanent closure. The Music Venue Trust (MVT), which represents hundred of grassroots music venues across the UK, has warned that 20 sites are at critical risk - including The Cobblestones pub, which is located on Eastover in the town centre. The Covid-19 pandemic has taken its toll on so many venues, and the government roadmap for the easing of lockdown restrictions does not allow pubs to have customers indoors until May 17. Mark Davyd, the MVT chief executive, said: The crisis is nearing its final lap but we need to make sure these venues finish the race.
