Staff at at music hall have been told to self isolate after coming into contact with a person with Covid-19.

The team at Ramsgate Music Hall made the announcement yesterday, before adding they were feeling "absolutely fine".

On a post on its Facebook and Twitter pages, a spokesman for the venue explained they were following government guidelines and isolating themselves but hoped to return next month.

“Just as we were starting to plan for some Halloween fun next weekend, we are now self-isolating due to recent contact with someone who has tested positive," they said.

“We feel fine at the moment, but we must follow procedure for everyone’s safety. With this in mind, please allow extra time for merch orders to be shipped out.

“We’ll be back and raring to go for the Sonic Wellness series starting in November.”

The Sonic Wellness series kicks off on November 7 where Radiohead’s Kid A album will be played to a socially distanced, seated audience.

It comes a month after the 130 person capacity venue in Turner Street welcomed back its first gig with just 12 people in attendance as part of a new look set up to comply with Covid-19 regulations.

Ramsgate Music Hall was named NME's "Britain's Best Small Venue" in 2015 and was awarded an allocation of the government's Cultural Recovery Fund earlier this month.
