UPDATED 17TH MAY
Our community of great music venues and bars is the heartbeat of Dot To Dot, and it’s been so tough to see so many struggling over the last year. It’s fantastic to have reached the next step on our road to recovery, with loads more great venues reopening, however some still don’t have the capacity to serve and entertain quite yet.
Please continue to follow and support the incredible work of the Music Venue Trust as they help us #ReviveLive. You can donate or pick up some merch right here. It really will make a difference to those venues facing closure.
We’ve put together a quick list of venues that have shared a reopening update, and supported us and have been a part of Dot To Dot over the years, as well as some top tips for how you can book yourself in for a crisp pint of lager or support your favourite venue in another way.
