The Paddock Project

We urge those of you with tickets for arts events that have been cancelled due to #coronavirus to consider donating the cost of your ticket to the organisation rather than receiving a refund. These are challenging times for everyone, including the arts and creative sector.

Great to see @bbcarts initiative with @ace_national during these challenging times. "We will run an essential arts and culture service across platforms that will keep the arts alive in people’s homes" More details on the @bbc blog here: bbc.in/2Ushszk

@ideasonfood Very sad but inevitable. Folk can always donate their ticket income rather than get refunds and help ensure the Festival is back next year.
