Late last week, we made the announcement that we have temporarily decreased our opening hours due to ongoing work to replace our boiler. This decision was for the wellbeing of our staff and visitors, as though we do have temporary heaters and a supply of blankets, it is unfortunately still very cold. Our temporary opening times in November and December are Tuesday-Thursday, 9.30 to 5pm, and Saturdays 12-4pm. We will be closed on Mondays and Fridays.
To best look after our event attendees and participants, we have also relocated some of our events that are due to take place in the next month. Details of the changes are below, including links to venue information and how to get there from GWL. For events that are still taking place at GWL, we’ll be working hard to warm up the spaces but recommend extra layers just in case.
In some cases, we have made the decision to cancel events. You can find a list of these events at the bottom of this page. We’re very sorry to cause any disappointment but can reassure you that it will result in a toasty warm GWL in the near future.
We’d like to thank all of the venues that are hosting our relocated events. We’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support from the local community and further afield and we’re so happy that our events can go ahead in warmer venues.
If an event is not mentioned below then it is going ahead without any changes.
