Step 3 - Easing Of Lockdown Restrictions

From 17th May 2021 businesses will be able to reopen indoor areas of your venues and applies to:

• indoor and outdoor attractions (such as arcades, guided tours, theme parks, family entertainment centres, funfairs, zoos and aquariums).

• business events (such as conferences, exhibitions, conventions, consumer/trade shows and other events and meetings)

• outdoor events (including shows and fairs, with guidance provided for event organisers and local authorities)

• hotels and other guest accommodation (such as self-catering accommodation, B&Bs, camping and caravan parks, hostels, holiday homes, boats and short-term lets), where there are relevant events and activities taking place in that facility.

• Restaurants, pubs, bars and takeaway services

Step 3 in the road map out of lockdown will allow businesses to:

• You will be able to serve customers in groups of up to 6 or 2 households indoors, or in groups of up to 30 outdoors.

• If your venue serves alcohol, table service will be required. Even if no alcohol is ordered, this means customers must order, be served and eat/drink while seated.

• If your venue does not serve alcohol, customers can order and collect food and drink from a counter. But they must consume food and drink while seated at a table.

• Indoor entertainment is allowed, including soft play areas.
