Hi, I went to the Buddy Holly centre last December well before Covid-19. and the procedure we adopted was to email the centre to see if they were open, enquire what times they were open and finally just turned up. Its a very small venue but very friendly unfortunately no photography is permitted. Very nostalgic if your into Buddy and the Crickets as I am. Good luck, ENJOY!! Cheers, Tony.

I would like to know if there is anything special on February 3rd 2019. We will be coming to Lubbock from the uk at this time. Thank you.
