Coronavirus Update - Monday 31st January 2022

Dear All,

With the removal of the government’s “Plan B” coronavirus restrictions related to the Omicron variant, the City of London is becoming busy again. While it is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering when moving around the Hall or attending events such as lectures or presentations, some may still prefer to do so. As a precautionary measure, we would also suggest that before attending a function at Bakers’ Hall everyone should consider doing a lateral flow test. 

If you are feeling unwell or displaying Covid-19 symptoms, please do not attend events at Bakers’ Hall.

As an ongoing Covid security measure, we will ensure that our rooms are well ventilated but this may mean some rooms feel cooler than usual. An enhanced cleaning programme, especially focusing on high touch surfaces and communal facilities, remains in place.  

There are now no restrictions on receptions, buffets, event numbers, table numbers, or table spacing so we can host events for up to 90 guests. If a measure of ’social-distancing’ is still preferred, we can happily accommodate up to 48 guests in the Livery Hall on this basis for catered functions of all kinds including corporate meetings, anniversaries, celebrations and weddings, City events, and Masonic lunches and dinners. 

If you would like further information about arranging events at our beautiful Hall, please visit https://www.bakers.co.uk/hall-hire or speak to our Events Manager, Martina, on 020 7623 2223.

With kind regards 

Lance Whitehouse
