Undoubtedly 2020 was a wash out in terms of cultural events to enjoy in St Albans and the surrounding area. The pandemic had a huge impact on the arts and on the events industry as lockdowns forced theatres to close and events to be cancelled – sometimes at the very last minute.
Now, with the vaccine programme already rolling out in Hertfordshire, we can hope that 2021 will be different, and, from spring onwards at least, we can begin to get out and enjoy ourselves once again.

The group will perform in front of St Albans Museum and Gallery at 11.30pm and 12.15 on Boxing Day, with a reduced cast and socially distanced audience. With Hertfordshire placed under Tier 3, the shows will not be held at any pubs as it traditionally would. The outdoor performances is said to be a Covid secure activity for families during Boxing Day, and a special video performance will appear on Youtube from 3pm.
