A concert venue reopens this summer after a year of closure from the Covid lockdowns.

The Booking Hall in Dover will have its first concert on Friday, July 23.

Playing that night will be the Britpop group Space, who had a string of top-10 hits in the late 1990s.

There will be smaller events in June and July but all this depends on whether the authorities consider re-openings of venues safe.

The last of the Government's lockdown process is due to end on June 21 provided cases of coronavirus are sufficiently on the decline.

Management said on The Booking Hall's website: "We can't wait to welcome you all back.

"We are also planning a few smaller events in June and early July like our popular quiz and films nights."

"We can't wait to welcome you all back."

Other shows will be announced in the following weeks.

The Booking Hall, in Elizabeth Street, had to first close on March 21 last year because of the pandemic.

Space became prominent in the mid-1990s and are known for songs such as Female of the Species, Avenging Angels and The Ballad of Tom Jones.

The latter was a duet with Cerys Matthews of fellow Britpop band Catatonia.

This show, from 7pm with ticket at £19.25, can be booked now via the website thebookinghall.com
