ARE you a pub or dining venue counting down the days before you can re-open again?
Then we want to hear from you so we can help you tell customers you are welcoming them back.
Our FREE marketing shout-outs are part of our Love Local Business campaign to help the Herefordshire economy recover from the coronavirus lockdowns.
If the Government is not forced by circumstances to change its route map out of lockdown, venues in Herefordshire with outdoor seating will re-open from Monday, April 12, while pubs and restaurants will welcome back groups of up to six people or two households indoors from May 17.
We will publish in print on Thursday, April 8, your listings of places due to re-open. But listings will also start appear online from today, and be promoted through Hereford Times social media accounts that reach thousands of local people every day.
All you have to do is submit your details and a picture using the button right at the bottom of this report. We'll take care of the rest.
Good luck on April 12! We'll be toasting a rapid return to prosperity for all our drinking and dining venues.
- We are also offering FREE shout-outs to other non-essential businesses. If you are NOT a pub/dining venue click here.
