So the Wanstead Kinema isn’t taking place after all. In spite of extensive social distancing procedures being in place, the Fringe had to cancel Friday night’s event because of the government’s new regulations on public gatherings in England. Tickets are being refunded.
If things had been different this would have been a wonderful Fringe week, with good weather for the Jumble Trail, photowalks, the Duke Street Party and the Wanstead Festival itself. Wanstead folk would have been filling venues for theatre, comedy, demonstrations and so on.
But 2020 had other thoughts. With thoughts now turning to a socially distanced Christmas, we can just hold out for things to get better in 2021.
Sad, especially after all your hard work, but a sensible decision….here’s to next year.
Sorry to see it not go ahead and hope you’re not too out of pocket. We’ll just have to make sure 2021 is extra special!
