“It is only right to follow the recent government guidelines although a tough decision as we have been running continuously since 1314, outside of the war years.

“We know this will be disappointing and thank you all for your support.

“We will however continue to post updates and fear not, we will be back. We will be in contact with all suppliers / traders and contacts over the coming weeks - please bear with us on this.

“In the meantime stay healthy, stay in touch and we look forward to seeing you all in 2021.”
