Hello all,
As activity and socialising becomes safer Chilli Studios is starting a phased opening :) This is exciting news and we can't wait to see more of you all in person. However, this has to be done within Government guidelines with safety implications for all our members, volunteers, and staff. We will release guidance at each stage. It will be different and we will all have to make small changes to work together to maintain the safety of the space and people. It's all about getting back to making a great creative community and fun space again, where we can support everyone's wellbeing. #Chillilove #chillicommunity
We will be carrying on online activity as it's been such an important development at reaching everyone, staying connected, creative and safe. As more venue and outdoor activity starts this may reduce the online workshops due to staff capacity.
