Beth Kennedy, Director of Ulverston Community Enterprises said: ‘We’ve been gradually reopening step by step since August 2021.

"But in that time we never felt able to plan events more than a month or so in advance as we grappled with the uncertainty caused by the resurgence of Covid and the slow process of rebuilding our staff and infrastructure.

"That process is still ongoing, but this announcement feels like a significant turning point for us – we’re finally getting back to doing what we do best: bringing a broad and varied programme of art, entertainment, community events and more to the people of Ulverston, South Lakeland, Cumbria and the Bay."
