๐ฃ Update 03/06/26 ๐ฃ
Our legal team believe that this forfeiture and associated notices are served in error and are not lawful or valid.
We have instructed them to apply for immediate relief from forfeiture, through the courts. If granted this will allow us to gain access back into the premesis and fulfil our bookings.
This process is likely to take place over the next 7 days. As more information becomes available to us, with regards timeframes etc, we will update everyone further.
We did not expect this to happen and we are surprised with the evidence available, that the landlords have chosen to take this path.
This appears to go against all the conversations that have taken place between our respective solicitors.
We have personally contacted everyone who had functions booked in for this coming weekend and spoken to them over the phone.
As it stands we are optimistic that we will receive relief from forfeiture and functions booked in from 12/06/26 onwards will take place as planned.
More updates will follow as the situation develops.
Thanks for your ongoing patience and support during an exceptionally difficult period.
We are inundated with messages at the moment and doing our best to answer queries, please bear with us, we are working hard to ensure that we can re-gain entry and ensure that all functions go ahead.
Thank you to everyone in the local community for the outpouring of support. It means the world to us.
A special thank you to Hilltop Sports and Social Club, The Forge in Dronfield, Casa Hotel and Eckington Civic Centre for offering to help with accommodating bookings in the meantime.
And finally, a big thank you to Francesca Baxendale for reaching out to her network to help in any way she can. We are so very grateful ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
