Following Government direction on 20 March
2020, City Hall was closed until further notice due to the COVID-19
pandemic. In October 2020 Cabinet confirmed that the venue would
remain mothballed until it was both financially viable and safe to
reopen.
In December 2020, City Hall was licenced to the NHS to be used as
Vaccination Centre. The NHS have confirmed the venue will continue
to be required as a vaccination centre until March 2023.
Wiltshire Council is now investigating the potential to remobilise
the site as an arts, culture and entertainment venue after March
2023.
