Hyde Park 2020 summer events update

Good afternoon,

I am writing to update you about the events that were set to take place in Hyde Park this summer. I would first like to send my well wishes to you and your loved ones, and hope that you are keeping safe and healthy in these extraordinary times.

We have been liaising with all our major events organisers and key partner agencies during Covid-19, and following Government guidance closely. It is with great sadness that our partner and promoter, AEG presents, has made the incredibly difficult decision to cancel this year’s British Summer Time Hyde Park 2020. This decision has been made to protect the safety of fans, staff and guests.

In addition to the Government enforcing a prolonged period of social isolation, the event would not want to place any additional strain on the emergency services, who we are fortunate to have working alongside us at our events.

It should also be noted that we are not taking further bookings for any small events or filming shoots for the foreseeable future. Those booked in for May have now been cancelled.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and follow the Government’s guidance, with the hope that we can still deliver the events that occur in the latter part of the year. We will update you about these events when we have the necessary information to do so.

I am sure you will appreciate that the safety, health and wellbeing of everyone is our sole priority, and I would like to thank you for your support and patience at this time.

Yours sincerely,
Alun Mainwaring
Head of Events and Filming
