The Dukes in Lancaster to temporarily close for lockdown this Thursday, November 5

In the meanwhile, The Dukes cinema will remain open this Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Dukes will be looking to rearrange performances where possible and the Box Office team will be in touch with anyone who has tickets for the shows or screenings affected by the latest changes.

Their creative learning department will also be contacting all participants about moving activity online.

Please bear with them: they will work as quickly as they can, but the phone lines may be a little busy.

The Dukes has been so grateful for everyone's support throughout this year, from encouragement during reopening to generosity in donations.

It’s a difficult time for all of them but they hope to still provide the presence and comfort for the community.

The Dukes will still be here on their social media channels and will continue to email, give updates on the website and share any online opportunities that you can enjoy from home, such as the Watch Online catalogue which features films to rent and a recorded performance of Ladies That Bus: https://dukeslancaster.org/whats-on/watch-online

The Dukes thanks everyone for their patience and warm wishes.
