The Welsh Government has confirmed further relaxations will be brought forward from 17 May to 3 May – including the resumption of indoor supervised activities for children, indoor organised activities for up to 15 adults, such as exercise classes, and the re-opening of community centres. This means Wales will have completed the move to Alert Level 3 by Monday 3 May.

Global Media Opportunity
As a thank you for all the support that theatres have shown Global over the years through advertising, they wanted to support our reopening campaign with a very generous offer of £312,000 of free media on the London underground. The campaign will go live from 17 May and we have 40 London shows taking part in this. We have created 10 packages with posters each featuring 4 shows, and there will be 7 x 16 sheets, 5 x 6 sheets, 10 x 12 sheets and 50 x 4 sheets for each design.
