Venues across Gloucestershire lit in red tonight. Live events around the world have been devastated by the impact of Covid. Without major immediate support from government, the entire supply chain is at risk of collapse. #LightItInRed#RedAlertRESTART
Chapel has been lit in red this evening in support of #WeMakeEvents. Live events around the world have been devastated by the impact of Covid. Without major immediate support from government, the entire supply chain is at risk of collapse. #LightItInRed#RedAlertRESTART
