Charlton Kings Film Society
IMPORTANT UPDATE
Hi Filmgoers,
Sacred Hearts Hall is not expected to re-open before September 2021 or as long as any COVID restrictions are in place.
The implications for public liability insurance and risk assessments are just too complicated. While this may be disappointing, the safety of users is obviously of paramount importance to everyone.
So, sadly, this means that the 2020/1 season simply won’t be able to take place. We will, of course, let you all know when restrictions are lifted.
In the meantime we send you our best wishes and hope you are all staying safe.
