IT has not got off to a great start so far with another lockdown and school closures but we are all looking at 2021 with cautious hope. When the vaccine is rolled out to society s vulnerable, restrictions could lift a little later in the year and among those anxiously waiting for that are the Parr Hall team. The Palmyra Square venue – run by charity Culture Warrington – has not been open since March 2020. For 125 years, is has been home to top events but now the stage is behind locked doors for the first time in decades. With a nine-month absence of live events, the closures have taken their toll on the Warrington-based charity.
