Further to the Prime Minister’s announcement of a second national lockdown from 5 November until 2 December you will be aware that we will need to close the Museum to visitors during this time.
We plan to reopen to visitors on the 5 December and welcome them back to our Unwrapping Christmas Programme and on the weekends of 12-13 and 19-20 we will still hold our Enchanted days as planned.
We intend to make use of the Job Retention Scheme again and People and Culture, or your Line Manager will be in touch in coming days to help you to understand what this means for you and what your working pattern will be for November.
During November we will return to staff only being on-site when absolutely necessary. Should you need to be on-site during our temporary closure, this will need to be agreed with your line manager beforehand. Anyone entering the Museum will need to continue to follow all the Covid secure parameters already in place and keep in mind normal safeguarding measures.
A huge thank you to everyone for making the last few months since we opened such a success – our visitor numbers for October half term (when we sold out every day!) are only one measure of how much our visitors and communities value what we offer and show what a brilliant job everyone has made of controlling what is in our power to control – creating lasting and living memories of the Black Country.
Thank you again for all your efforts and continued support.
