Red Alert - Womanby Street venues, Cardiff. Image by Sofie Bainbridge CAMPAIGN group, We Make Events Cymru, reflects the impact of Covid-19 on the events sector. On 16 March 2020, the UK government called for drastic action to halt the spread of coronavirus. Boris Johnson advised public buildings, including theatres, to close and mass gatherings to stop. This week, 12 months on, campaign group We Make Events Cymru, reflects on the impact of Covid-19 and how the lockdown restrictions has had a devastating effect on their industry. The impact of the announcement back in March last year meant that the UK event sector came to an outright standstill, resulting in events being cancelled, theatre and music shows could not be staged and thousands of Welsh event professionals could not work.
