Hide AdMichelle Sweeney, director of creative development, said: “Much has changed over the last year but what hasn’t is the desire to reconnect and be entertained again so we’re really looking forward to welcoming our audiences back with activities designed to make them laugh, sing and forget about life for a while.
She paid tribute to the venue’s teams who worked so hard online during the pandemic.
Michelle added: “They have done incredible work over the last few months with curating virtual exhibitions but while online can give a sense of a painting or exhibit, you can’t beat standing in front of it in a gallery or museum.
