Return of concerts to Hinckley's Argents Mead

Live outdoor music performances are returning to Hinckley's bandstand in Argents Mead throughout September with the first taking place tomorrow.

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council says event stewards will be in the Mead to ensure social distancing is observed and those attending are asked to sit or stand with members of their household or bubble up to a maximum of six people and only to attend if feeling well.

Hand sanitising stations will also be available and a requirement to complete Track and Trace information.
