Bray Bouncing Back

A big drive is underway to unite Bray socially and economically as the town prepares to re-open for business.

COVID-19 has hit the country and Bray extremely hard. The country is now gradually reopening safely while trying to minimise the risk of a second wave and these vital steps are important to restart the local economy in Bray.

Roadmap for reopening society and business

The roadmap sets out Ireland’s plan for lifting COVID-19 restrictions on:

  1. 18 May (phase 1)
  2. 8 June (phase 2)
  3. 29 June (phase 3)
  4. 20 July (phase 4)
  5. 10 August (phase 5)

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update

Ireland is well-positioned to detect and respond to cases of COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

The dedicated COVID-19 information hubs aim is to help connect local businesses with customers, share some practical hints, tips, supports and links to help the town and community bounce back.

The hubs can be accessed via:

  1. Covid-19 updates
  2. Shop Local First
  3. Information hub for businesses

Helping Bray businesses bounce back

In order to update local consumers on planned reopenings, we are calling on the local business community to tell us about it and we will do our best to re-share the information via our website and social networks. Local businesses can submit their reopening information using the form here.

Click here see a list of local businesses that we’re currently aware are open or plan to reopen inline with the Government reopening phasing.

 

Shop local first

As we emerge out of this crisis, Bray Chamber, Bray Municipal District – Wicklow County Council and bray.ie‘s message is simply please: invest in our town, shop local first and let’s have unity in our community.

Let’s work together #Bray and support those close to us, as a community, we can all get through it together.

Bray Air Display will not take place in 2020

It’s a big disappointment to announce that the #BrayAirDisplay 2020, which was originally due to take place on July 25th and 26th, is cancelled.

After very careful consideration, the unprecedented impact of the global #COVID19 pandemic has forced this decision in the interests of the health and safety of spectators, participants and the organising team.

The team will focus their energies on creating a spectacular event for 2021 when they hope to celebrate happier, safer times.

Follow the Bray Air Display on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for all the very latest 2021 event updates.

Event news

Around the district, festivals, sporting events, conferences and community celebrations are being cancelled due to the Government’s ban on mass gatherings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commencing May 18th Ireland will reopen in a phased approach.

Criteria for progressing from one phase to the next are: Progress of disease, Testing and contact tracing, Healthcare capacity/resilience, Shielding at-risk groups and Secondary morbidity and mortality.

As soon as restrictions are lifted on mass gatherings we’re more than happy to help promote events for free as long as they are following the HSE / Irish Government all COVID-19 coronavirus guidelines in full.
